Pacific Philosophical Quarterly, Volume 106, Issue 1, Page 2-32, March 2025.
Abstract This essay critically examines a widely held assumption in interpreting Leibniz's modal metaphysics: that whatever is necessarily actual is necessary.

How to lie to God: Kant's Thomistic turn

European Journal of Philosophy, Volume 32, Issue 4, Page 1086-1100, December 2024.
