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).

Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, Volume 109, Issue 3, Page 856-873, November 2024.Abstract This paper commences by making a case for a naturalized approach to knowledge‐first epistemology. On this basis it then goes on to describe and defend a naturalized, functionalist account of group knowledge. It then contrasts this with Jennifer Lackey's (2021) account of the epistemological status of groups.
