I am interested in three broad areas: freedom and agency; reason and reasons; norms and values. Currently, I am finishing a monograph on freedom, Good, Ought, Can: An argument for freedom. in the past, I have dealt with these topics by engaging with classical German philosophy, specifically, Kant and Hegel. I have written two monographs, Kant and the Culture of Enlightenment (2005), which treats rational autonomy and free speech, and The Scope of Autonomy: Kant and the Morality of Freedom (2012), which treats moral autonomy.
