European Journal of Philosophy, Volume 33, Issue 3, Page 890-909, September 2025.Abstract In this paper, I provide a history of Kant's extensive experimentation with the doctrine of the schematism.

Axiological pessimism, procreation and collective responsibility
Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, Volume 111, Issue 1, Page 157-172, July 2025.Abstract A form of pessimism can support the claim that we have a collective duty to prevent the creation of additional human beings. More specifically, I argue that axiological pessimism, which suggests that human existence is overall bad (for humans) because of a form of evil it causes, implies that we should end human procreation, provided that we ...
