European Identity and the Euro in Kosovo

Nations and Nationalism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT How can nationalist leaders stand for political independence and monetary sovereignty while embracing the use of a supra‐national currency?

Phenomenal knowledge and phenomenal causality

Noûs, Volume 60, Issue 1, Page 212-232, March 2026.
Abstract There has been extensive debate over whether we can have phenomenal knowledge in the case of epiphenomenalism. This article aims to bring that debate to a close.
