Indoctrination and Democratic Legitimacy

Philosophy &Public Affairs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT I argue that indoctrination undermines voter competence, and that widespread indoctrination thereby compromises the legitimacy of otherwise free and fair elections.

Bullshitters, Liars and Bad Teachers: The Scope of Epistemic Malevolence

Analytic Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The aim of this paper is two‐fold. We argue against the received conception of epistemic malevolence and give a broader characterisation that, we argue, captures its real scope.

Descartes in Two Dimensions

Ratio, EarlyView.

In this short note, I argue that, in fact, the all important statement, ‘I am, I exist’, should be analysed through the lens of (classical)
