From modality to millianism

open access: yesNoûs, EarlyView.
Abstract A new argument is offered which proceeds through epistemic possibility (for all S knows, p), cutting a trail from modality to Millianism, the controversial thesis that the semantic content of a proper name is simply its bearer. New definitions are provided for various epistemic modal notions.

The simplicity of physical laws

open access: yesNoûs, EarlyView.
Abstract Physical laws are strikingly simple, yet there is no a priori reason for them to be so. I propose that nomic realists—Humeans and non‐Humeans—should recognize simplicity as a fundamental epistemic guide for discovering and evaluating candidate physical laws.

Expected value, to a point: Moral decision‐making under background uncertainty

open access: yesNoûs, EarlyView.
Abstract Expected value maximization gives plausible guidance for moral decision‐making under uncertainty in many situations. But it has unappetizing implications in ‘Pascalian’ situations involving tiny probabilities of extreme outcomes. This paper shows, first, that under realistic levels of ‘background uncertainty’ about sources of value independent

Accuracy and precision of a sphero‐cylindrical over‐refraction app for smartphones

open access: yesOphthalmic and Physiological Optics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To evaluate the accuracy and precision of a web‐based smartphone app designed to measure sphero‐cylindrical over‐refraction. Methods A total of 307 healthy young subjects (22.5 ± 3.4 years) underwent clinical subjective refraction. In addition to each subject's refractive correction, spherical and cylindrical errors from −1.50 to 0.00 ...
