My areas of competence are Philosophy of Language and Epistemology.
In Epistemology I read post-Kantian analytic philosophy, pertaining to the intersection of science and philosophy. Of particular interest is the Carnap-Quine debate - and its current derivatives - addressing the move away from logical positivism towards Naturalism in 20th Century empiricist philosophy. The 20th century and current debates about the possibility of a priori knowledge is central to my work in this area. This area has some significant overlaps with philosophy of science.
In Philosophy of Language my areas of competence lie in the body of literature which developed from the semantic anti-realist movement. Here focus chiefly on the realist-anti-realist debate about meaning and truth.
Currently my research is directed at the legitimacy of the naturalist claims about scientistic philosophy and whether such claims can, in fact, be honoured whilst doing work which primarily still uses rational methods of enquiry.
