24Seemings and the Response to Radical SkepticismInternational Journal for the Study of Skepticism 13 (2): 105-119. 2022.I begin by making some brief remarks about commonsense particularism. Commonsense particularists hold that we know pretty much what we think we know and hold that some of these beliefs are more reasonable than competing skeptical principles.

15Love, Beneficence, and the Hedonic ConstraintAmerican Philosophical Quarterly 53 (3): 259-268. 2016.In this paper, I present briefly a view about intrinsic value, one connected to the concepts of ethically required attitudes of favor, disfavor, and preference.
