17Covert spatial attention alters the way things look. There is strong empirical evidence showing that objects situated at attended locations are described as appearing bigger, closer, if striped, stripier than qualitatively indiscernible counterparts whose locations are unattended. These results cannot be easily explained in terms of which properties of objects are perceived. Nor do they appear to be cases of visual illusions. Ned Block has argued that these results are best accounted for by invo…Read more

106Nietzsche on the Diachronic Will and the problem of moralityEuropean Journal of Philosophy 20 (4): 652-675. 2012.In this paper I offer an innovative interpretation of Nietzsche's metaethical theory of value which shows him to be a kind of constitutivist. For Nietzsche, I argue, valuing is a conative attitude which institutes values, rather than tracking what is independently of value.

Having explained Noë's particular version of enactivism, which accounts for the contents of perceptual experience in terms of sensorimoto…Read more

110"Calm down, dear": intellectual arrogance, silencing and ignoranceAristotelian Society Supplementary Volume 90 (1): 71-92. 2016.In this paper I provide an account of two forms of intellectual arrogance which cause the epistemic practices of conversational turn-taking and assertion to malfunction. I detail some of the ethical and epistemic harms generated by intellectual arrogance, and explain its role in fostering the intellectual vices of timidity and servility in other agents. Finally, I show that arrogance produces ignorance by silencing others (both preventing them from speaking and causing their assertions to misfir…Read more
