6Theory of ScienceIn John Shand (ed.), A Companion to Nineteenth Century Philosophy (Blackwell Companions to Philosophy), Wiley-blackwell. 2019.According to J. G. Fichte, for a science to possess systematic form the science must begin with a first principle known with certainty and each proposition within the science must be validly connected to the first principle. The content of the Wissenschaftslehre consists of essentially one kind of content, what he calls “the acts of the human mind” He also holds that the Wissenschaftslehre provides each science its own first principle, thus making up part of its content. Following his first publ…Read more

1Fichte's Developmental View of Self-ConsciousnessIn Fichte's Foundations of Natural Right: A Critical Guide, Cambridge University Press. pp. 92-116. 2016.Fichte’s Foundations of Natural Right develops an intersubjective view of individual self-consciousness. The central concept of this view is his notion of the summons, which he characterizes as upbringing. I argue that Fichte has a developmental view of self-consciousness in which a subject is brought up, through relations of recognition, to be first an individual human being that is capable of responding to reasons and second a political individual that respects other political individuals’ rig…Read more

17Imitation and Society (review)Graduate Faculty Philosophy Journal 27 (1): 210-214. 2006.Tom Huhn’s challenging book provides subtle readings of three philosophers’ aesthetic projects, two of which have been overlooked by many American philosophers. Mimesis is the guiding theme of Huhn’s reading, and it gives him a unique access to certain aesthetic and cognitive theories. While Huhn’s book is relatively short, its themes are vast. I will only discuss what I take to be the heart of Huhn’s project: revealing the relationship between society and aesthetic pleasure.

57Fichte’s Deduction of the External WorldInternational Philosophical Quarterly 55 (2): 217-234. 2015.The essay provides a new interpretation of Fichte’s deduction of the external world that considers the argument to be motivated not by epistemic concerns but by concerns about the possibility of freedom. In defending this view, I critically examine Frederick Beiser’s reconstruction of Fichte’s deduction, which characterizes the argument as refuting external world skepticism, exactly the threat by which Fichte is not troubled. I claim that Fichte is troubled by ethical skepticism, the view that t…Read more

130Unreflective action and the argument from speedPacific Philosophical Quarterly 92 (3): 338-362. 2011.Hubert Dreyfus has defended a novel view of agency, most notably in his debate with John McDowell. Dreyfus argues that expert actions are primarily unreflective and do not involve conceptual activity. In unreflective action, embodied know-how plays the role reflection and conceptuality play in the actions of novices. Dreyfus employs two arguments to support his conclusion: the argument from speed and the phenomenological argument. I argue that Dreyfus's argumentative strategies are not successfu…Read more

20Fichte's Foundations of Natural Right: A Critical Guide (edited book)Cambridge University Press. 2016.Fichte's Foundations of Natural Right was one of the most influential books in nineteenth-century philosophy. It was read carefully by Schelling, Hegel, and Marx, and initiated a tradition in German philosophy that considers human subjectivity to be relational and intersubjective, thus requiring relations of recognition between subjects. The essays in this volume highlight this little-understood book's most important ideas and innovations. They offer discussions of Fichte's conception of freedom…Read more

1245Know-How, procedural knowledge, and choking under pressurePhenomenology and the Cognitive Sciences 14 (2): 361-378. 2015.I examine two explanatory models of choking: the representationalist model and the anti-representationalist model. The representationalist model is based largely on Anderson's ACT model of procedural knowledge and is developed by Masters, Beilock and Carr. The antirepresentationalist model is based on dynamical models of cognition and embodied action and is developed by Dreyfus who employs an antirepresentational view of know-how. I identify the models' similarities and differences. I then sugge…Read more
