Softening the Border: A Capacities Approach to the Perception–Cognition Distinction

Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, Volume 112, Issue 3, Page 707-723, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Approaches to the perception–cognition distinction tend toward two extremes. Many embrace a hard border, treating perception and cognition as mutually exclusive, non‐overlapping categories.

Hybrid Deference, Hybrid Chance

Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, Volume 112, Issue 1, Page 214-233, January 2026.

Abstract This paper provides an overview of the research techniques that can be used for explorations in legal geography, highlighting the multiple instruments available in the legal geographer's methodological toolkit.

The simplicity of physical laws

Noûs, Volume 59, Issue 4, Page 957-987, December 2025.
Abstract Physical laws are strikingly simple, yet there is no a priori reason for them to be so. I propose that nomic realists—Humeans and non‐Humeans—should recognize simplicity as a fundamental epistemic guide for discovering and evaluating candidate physical laws.
