Bio:
When not reading philosophy, I'm either reading Japanese literature, playing the piano, playing video games, or studying Japanese. Some of my studies and interests outside of philosophy include psychology/cognitive science, foreign languages, linguistics, Greek/Roman/Chinese/Japanese history, and economic/political theory.
Research:
My current research is concerned with reconciling the competing understandings of concepts within scientific psychology and philosophy, as well as articulating what I believe is a novel approach to concepts more generally. I am also interested in issues such as animal cognition, ecological psychology, and teleosemantic approaches to mental content and language.
