About

My research is in the philosophy of mind, specifically on intentionality, consciousness, and the relationship between the two.

Previously, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the School of Philosophy at The Australian National University, a graduate student at the Department of Philosophy at Princeton University, and an undergrad at McGill University.

book-cover

TLDR: The Phenomenal Basis of Intentionality argues that the most basic or fundamental kind of intentionality is nothing over and above phenomenal consciousness, the felt, subjective, or “what it's like” aspect of experience. Any other kinds of intentionality are derived from this basic phenomenal intentionality thanks to our dispositions to ascribe further contents to our mental states or ourselves. The end result is a radically internalist picture of the mind.

A Sample Philosophy Paper

In 2010, after my first foray into the joys of philosophy grading, I created this annotated sample paper for my students.

Christopher Anandale made an excellent video of it.
