Indoctrination and Democratic Legitimacy

Philosophy &Public Affairs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT I argue that indoctrination undermines voter competence, and that widespread indoctrination thereby compromises the legitimacy of otherwise free and fair elections. Drawing on recent work in virtue epistemology, I provide an epistemic account of indoctrination according to which one is indoctrinated only if they hold an epistemically impactful

Apparent Paradoxes Are Paradoxes and the Problem of Change Is an Apparent Paradox

Pacific Philosophical Quarterly, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this paper, we argue that, under certain conditions, if something is, apparently, a paradox, then it is a paradox.

The Abductivist Interpretation of Frege's Conception of Logic

Analytic Philosophy, EarlyView.

Simulations All the Way Up! An Atheist's Response to the Fine‐Tuning Argument

Analytic Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT So the Fine‐tuning Argument goes, because it is so unlikely for the physical constants of the laws of nature to have taken the values that they in fact take, we should significantly raise our credence that God exists. Simulation Arguments argue that our world might be (or, in stronger versions, that it probably is) a mere computer simulation ...

Verbal Metadisputes

Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Many philosophical disputes have become so intractable that philosophers question whether there is a fact of the matter as to which side is right or whether these disputes are entirely verbal. Yet these “metadisputes” have also become intractable. This raises the question: Could they, too, be verbal? What would that even mean? Using tools from
