Currently, my main areas of interest are: philosophy of mind, meta-ethics, moral psychology, and (of course) epistemology and metaphysics more generally. (In my spare time I also enjoy dabbling in philosophy of religion.) Right now I'm especially interested in how subjects interact with their environment and the nature and justification of moral judgments. This leads to questions about the nature of intentionality, the contents of thought, semantics, action, rationality, egoism, and similar issues.
