European Journal of Philosophy, Volume 32, Issue 3, Page 690-707, September 2024.Abstract When one is intentionally doing something, one represents that thing as a goal to be accomplished.

Immediate Justification and Process Reliabilism
, 2008 A central issue in contemporary epistemology is whether there is a species of (prima facie) justification that is immediate, direct, basic, or foundational.

The factivity of practical knowledge
European Journal of Philosophy, Volume 32, Issue 3, Page 728-742, September 2024.Abstract Anscombean accounts claim that intentional action is essentially characterized by an agent's practical knowledge of what she is doing.

Ratio, Volume 37, Issue 2-3, Page 93-101, June-September 2024.Abstract In 1967, Alvin Goldman prominently claimed that the traditional JTB analysis is adequate for non‐empirical knowledge. Since then, this claim has remained widely unchallenged. In this paper, I show that this claim is false. I provide two examples in which a true belief is a priori justified but epistemically defective such that it does not ...

The consequences of seeing imagination as a dual‐process virtue
Metaphilosophy, Volume 55, Issue 2, Page 162-174, April 2024.Abstract Michael T. Stuart (2021 and 2022) has proposed imagination as an intellectual dual‐process virtue, consisting of imagination1 (underwritten by cognitive Type 1 processing) and imagination2 (supported by Type 2 processing). This paper investigates the consequences of taking such an account seriously.
