Knowledge first, all the way down

Philosophical Investigations, Volume 48, Issue 4, Page 363-376, October 2025.
Abstract Knowledge‐first philosophy has fewer adherents than it should. It has the potential to address many of the common problems facing epistemologists, but it is counter‐intuitive in some respects.

Epistemic Relativism and the Gettier Problem

Epistemology & Philosophy of Science, 2022

Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, Volume 111, Issue 2, Page 590-606, September 2025.
Abstract In some cases of communication, the hearer misunderstands the referential part of the speaker's utterance although she identifies the speaker's referent. What more is needed for referential understanding? One view is that the hearer must know what the speaker refers to.

Why Do Children From Age 4 Fail True Belief Tasks? A Decision Experiment Testing Competence Versus Performance Limitation Accounts

Cognitive Science, Volume 49, Issue 6, June 2025.
Abstract The standard view on Theory of Mind (ToM) is that the mastery of the false belief (FB) task around age 4 marks the ontogenetic emergence of full‐fledged meta‐representational ToM. Recently, a puzzling finding has emerged: Once children master the FB task, they begin to fail true belief (TB) control tasks. This finding threatens the validity of
