Deflating and Debunking: A Case for Hard‐Line Structuralism
Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, Volume 113, Issue 1, Page 169-181, July 2026.ABSTRACT Can manipulated agents be morally responsible for what they do?

Can Soft‐Line Compatibilism Handle Eternally Recurrent Manipulation?
Theoria, Volume 92, Issue 2, April 2026.ABSTRACT A key challenge to compatibilism comes from manipulation arguments.

Noûs, Volume 59, Issue 4, Page 921-937, December 2025.Abstract A major open question in the borderlands between epistemology and philosophy of science concerns whether Bayesian updating and abductive inference are compatible.

Two intuitions about free will—Some afterthoughts
Theoria, Volume 91, Issue 2, April 2025.Abstract In 2014, Christian List and I published a paper that delineated our view regarding what it takes for an agent to act freely.

Foreknowledge and causal determinism
Theoria, Volume 91, Issue 2, April 2025.Abstract I evaluate Patrick Todd's critique of the idea accepted by many, including (in contemporary philosophy) Nelson Pike and John Martin Fischer, that there can be non‐causal constraints on human actions (including basic actions). I suggest that Todd's critical reflections, although illuminating, are not persuasive.

Supervenient fixity and agential possibilities
Theoria, Volume 90, Issue 4, Page 400-416, August 2024.Abstract One of the central problems within the free will debate lies in the apparent incompatibility of an agent's ability to do otherwise and determinism.

Mobile health technology and empowerment
Bioethics, Volume 38, Issue 6, Page 481-490, July 2024.Abstract Mobile Health (m‐health) technologies, such as wearables, apps, and smartwatches, are increasingly viewed as tools for improving health and well‐being.

Noûs, Volume 58, Issue 1, Page 141-162, March 2024.Abstract In this paper I will introduce a new compatibilist account of free action: indirect conscious control compatibilism, or just indirect compatibilism for short. On this account, actions are free either when they are caused by compatibilist‐friendly conscious psychological processes, or else by sub‐personal level processes influenced in ...
