Modal Luck and Buried Treasure
Pacific Philosophical Quarterly, Volume 107, Issue 2, Page 99-107, June 2026.ABSTRACT Modal views of luck, influential in epistemology, hold that luck is characterized by modal fragility.

I argue that this challenge assumes that if two events are each modally stable, their conjunction is also ...

Ratio, Volume 39, Issue 1, Page 10-16, March 2026.ABSTRACT Preservationism in the philosophy of memory is dead, according to many. This opinion is not ill‐founded. It appears to be justified both by common sense and by empirical psychology. But in what follows we explain how and why an independently motivated form of preservationism, modal preservationism, survives.
