Current Research
My research in on the ontology of secondary properties and the philosophy of perception. I write both works in traditional a priori philosophy and in experimental philosophy. My experimental work is done together with a fellow at the Warwick Business School, Dr. Kelly Ann Schmidtke. Our work is in positive experimental philosophy: we use experiments to further current philosophical debates; we do not question the methods of philosophy, for example, the use of intuitions.
