Norms and Significance in Ignorance. Reply to Duncan Pritchard

Philosophical Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This is a reply to Duncan Pritchard's response to my critique of his normative account of ignorance. Pritchard suggests that I take a Normative Condition on board in my own account of ignorance. Pritchard's suggestion has drastic revisionary and deflationary implications for how we use words like “ignorance” and “ignorant”.

Belief revision revised

Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, Volume 111, Issue 2, Page 696-727, September 2025.

If I am right, not only is the leading theory of belief revision false, so are various recently proposed weakenings.

Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, Volume 110, Issue 3, Page 1137-1151, May 2025.
Abstract Advocates of longtermism point out that interventions which focus on improving the prospects of people in the very far future will, in expectation, bring about an astronomical amount of good (or agent‐neutral value). As such, longtermists claim we have compelling moral reason to engage in long‐term interventions.
