Noûs, EarlyView.
Abstract Ontological nihilists repudiate ontology altogether, maintaining that ontological structure is an unnecessary addition to our theorizing.

Reasons, rationality, and opaque sweetening: Hare's “No Reason” argument for taking the sugar

Noûs, EarlyView.
Abstract Caspar Hare presents a compelling argument for “taking the sugar” in cases of opaque sweetening: you have no reason to take the unsweetened option, and you have some reason to take the sweetened one.

Epistemic authenticity

Noûs, EarlyView.
Abstract There are better and worse ways to acquire epistemic virtues and more generally to be disposed to change or maintain one's epistemic dispositions over time.

Towards a theory of presence

Noûs, EarlyView.
Abstract The present paper presents a new (formal) theory of presence according to which, roughly, to be present at a place is to have a delegate located at that place. One crucial feature of the theory is that something can be present at a place without thereby being located there.
