RESEARCH

 

I received my Ph.D. in philosophy from the University of Washington in Seattle in 2002. I work mainly in the areas of epistemology and virtue theory. My interests in epistemology include virtue epistemology, skepticism, a priori knowledge, and moral and religious epistemology. My interests in ethics include virtue ethics and moral psychology. I'm presently finishing up a monograph in virtue epistemology titled _The Inquiring Mind: On the Intellectual Virtues and Virtue Epistemology_. Click here for a draft of Chatper 1.
