Commitment and Reasons – A Comment on Ruth Chang, ‘Three Dogmas of Normativity’

Journal of Applied Philosophy, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 220-230, May 2023., 2023

Chang suggests that commitment is a fundamental way of ‘putting one's very self’ behind a normative consideration, thereby ‘endow[ing] that consideration with the ...

A new bridge principle for the normativity of logic

Theoria, Volume 88, Issue 6, Page 1274-1292, December 2022., 2022

Trust as performance

Philosophical Issues, Volume 32, Issue 1, Page 120-147, October 2022., 2022
Abstract It is argued that trust is a performative kind and that the evaluative normativity of trust is a special case of the evaluative normativity of performances generally. The view is shown to have advantages over competitor views, e.g., according to which good trusting is principally a matter of good believing (e.g., Hieronymi, 2008; McMyler, 2011)

Rational Suspension

Theoria, Volume 87, Issue 5, Page 1050-1066, October 2021., 2021
Abstract The article argues that there are different ways of justifying suspension of judgement. We suspend judgement not only privatively, that is, because we lack evidence, but also positively, that is, because there is evidence that provides reasons for suspending judgement: suspension is more than the rational fallback position in cases of ...
