Here’s a brief outline of my philosophical interest, which, as a caveat, shifts and develops much more frequently than I could hope to update here (last updated 06/2024). But if anything interests you, feel free to get in touch here.
(For a recent podcast chat that pretty well captured my latest interest, see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKU6ENtwWVM)
If you go by doctrines, I would tentatively call myself a pragmatist, or a (late) Wittgensteinian, though both labels have been associated with things that I don’t identify with (e.g. what’s been called the pragmatist theory of truth, and the more conservative strand of Wittgenstein to leave everything as it is). What that means, in some very big-picture strokes, is that 1) I don’t think language and thought are primarily representational (for a published paper on various forms of anti-representationalism, see here) and think that they are more tightly connected to action, to the practical and the normative than is typically conceived; 2) I don’t think ‘Reality’ has any joint in itself that we could carve at and correspond to, and think that any theory we have of the world cannot escape our perspective and the intentionality and normativity that come with it; 3) I embrace philosophy as a ‘humanistic’ discipline, as Bernard Williams describes in ‘Philosophy as a Humanistic Discipline’: while philosophy should very well learn from science and study it, it shouldn’t be conceived of as exactly continuous with science, nor should it unthinkingly defer to science, nor should it imitate the style of science.
If you go by areas, I mainly work on philosophy of mind and philosophy of language and conceptual engineering/ethics. I’m also interested in philosophy of science, metaethics, political philosophy, and the philosophy of Kant and Nietzsche.
If you go by people, here is an incomplete list of important inspirations (in no particular order): Bernard Williams, Ian Hacking, Richard Rorty, Daniel Dennett, Robert Brandom, Wilfrid Sellars, Huw Price, Simon Blackburn, Michel Foucault, Stanley Cavell, Hasok Chang; for earlier philosophers, Frank Ramsey, the later Wittgenstein, and Friedrich Nietzsche.
