Justification, Excuse, and Dispositions to Follow Norms

Analytic Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Out of all the candidates for a norm of justified belief, knowledge is not commonly viewed as favorably as others. Recently, however, those sympathetic to the knowledge norm have lodged various indirect defenses thereof by appropriating the concept of excuse, as part of a broader account of justification, to explain away intuitions that ...

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. They face a well‐known challenge: Lackey's Buried Treasure cases, which suggest that an event can be both lucky and modally stable. I argue that this challenge assumes that if two events are each modally stable, their conjunction is also ...

Knowledge and Assertion in "Gettier" Cases

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2015
Assertion is fundamental to our lives as social and cognitive beings. By asserting we share knowledge, coordinate behavior, and advance collective inquiry. Accordingly, assertion is of considerable interest to cognitive scientists, social scientists, and philosophers. This paper advances our understanding of the norm of assertion.

Philosophical Investigations, Volume 49, Issue 2, Page 170-194, April 2026.
Abstract In 2008 I published a paper making the case that Wittgenstein's On Certainty reflections can be fruitfully extended to cast light on the foundations of our moral lives and practices. My primary example was that the wrongness of killing is a basic moral certainty.

ON HISTORICAL (ANTI‐)REALISM

History and Theory, Volume 65, Issue 1, Page 58-82, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The problem of historical realism has gained some new momentum recently, with a fresh challenge to what is taken to be an anti‐realist hegemony in the theory and philosophy of history. Unfortunately, this has also provided the opportunity for the reheating of old polemics and lazy scholarship that characterized the 1990s reaction to ...

Mistreating Consent

Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, Volume 112, Issue 2, Page 544-560, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Consent plays an important role in our lives. Using someone's body or property without their consent is typically a serious wrong. However, there are various ways in which consensual interactions may be morally deficient. This paper articulates an underexplored way in which consent can be defective, namely by being moot.

Gettier Cases

, 2017
The term ‘Gettier case’ is a technical term frequently applied to a wide array of thought experiments in contemporary epistemology. What do these cases have in common? It is said that they all involve a justified true belief which, intuitively, is not knowledge, due to a form of luck called ‘gettiering.’ While this very broad characterization suffices ...

Preservationism in Memory

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.

Teaching Students to Understand Knowledge: Stress‐Testing the ‘Justified True Belief Account’ for Critical Thinking

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 ...
