Trust, risk, and mere vulnerability

Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, Volume 111, Issue 2, Page 407-422, September 2025.
Abstract Many philosophers of trust endorse the idea that trust is inherently risky. This raises the question of how exactly we ought to understand the relevant notion of risk. Should we understand it in objectivist or evidentialist terms? I argue that neither of these two ways of unpacking things holds up in light of number of clear examples of trust ...

Reasons, attenuators, and virtue: A novel account of pragmatic encroachment

Analytic Philosophy, Volume 66, Issue 2, Page 159-180, June 2025.
Abstract In this paper, I explicate pragmatic encroachment by appealing to pragmatic considerations attenuating, or weakening, epistemic reasons to believe. I call this the ‘Attenuators View’. I will show that this proposal is better than spelling out pragmatic encroachment in terms of reasons against believing – what I call the ‘Reasons View’.
