Welcome to my homepage.
I am a philosopher living in Melbourne.
In the intersection of philosophy of mind and epistemology I focus on conscious experience, and especially on its role in human rationality. In my book I argue that intuition is a type of experience which justifies belief for the same reason as why perceptual experience does.
In political philosophy I focus on the moral obligations we the affluent have to the very poor. I ask whether the widespread practice of giving priority to compatriots over the much greater need of the distant poor is justified, and whether certain business relationships give rise to significant obligations to alleviate poverty
I also have a research interest in metaethics, in particular moral epistemology, and especially the role of intuition in this area.
