It is a pleasure to continue a longstanding conversation with our honoree on questions about the nature of belief and how that bears on the theory of knowledge. Can belief be a sort of performance? Can it be motivated at all, much less properly motivated,

What is rational belief?

Noûs, Volume 58, Issue 2, Page 333-359, June 2024.
Abstract A theory of rational belief should get the cases right. It should also reach its verdicts using the right theoretical assumptions. Leading theories seem to predict the wrong things. With only one exception, they don't accommodate principles that we should use to explain these verdicts.

It is tempting to seek an answer to that question by drawing an analogy with creditworthy success in other domains of human agency, especially in sports ...

Mental agency and rational subjectivity

European Journal of Philosophy, Volume 32, Issue 1, Page 224-245, March 2024.

An attempt at a general solution to the problem of deviant causal chains

Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, Volume 108, Issue 2, Page 374-395, March 2024.
Abstract Deviant causal chain problems arise in many settings. The most famous instance of the problem is the Gettier problem, but the problem also arises in the philosophy of action and perception. Usually, attempts to tackle these problems try to solve them individually.
