My current activity in philosophy is divided in two branches. One branch is philosophy of physics, where I investigate methodology of physics, specifically evaluation criteria of physical theories, and I evaluate particular theories with the criteria. The other branch is methodology of philosophy, where I'm developing and applying a naturalist method for dealing with some hard problems of philosophy.
