Does reflection reduce the epistemic side‐effect effect? A new challenge to error accounts
Mind &Language, Volume 41, Issue 1, Page 88-118, February 2026.The epistemic side‐effect effect consists of an asymmetric pattern of knowledge attributions in harm and help cases, paralleling the Knobe effect for intentionality attributions. Error‐based accounts suggest the asymmetries arise from performance errors in harm cases. We challenge this claim with three new experimental studies designed to reduce errors.

Hybrid Deference, Hybrid Chance
Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, Volume 112, Issue 1, Page 214-233, January 2026.ABSTRACT If you learn about one kind of chance and nothing else, then you should defer to those chances.

Future in Educational Research, Volume 3, Issue 4, Page 569-579, December 2025.ABSTRACT This conceptual essay, grounded in a close reading of Plato's Theaetetus, argues that before educators can effectively operationalise critical thinking as the rigorous evaluation ('stress‐testing') of competing knowledge claims, university students must first understand foundational epistemological principles rooted in Plato's tripartite ...

Sleeping Beauty and the demands of non‐ideal rationality
Noûs, Volume 59, Issue 4, Page 1072-1092, December 2025.Abstract If an agent can't live up to the demands of ideal rationality, fallback norms come into play that take into account the agent's limitations. A familiar human limitation is our tendency to lose information. How should we compensate for this tendency?
