Knowledge and Argument

Noûs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT I argue that knowledge plays a distinctive role in psychological explanation that weaker epistemic states cannot because it is robust in the face of counterevidence in a way that they are not. Being robust in the face of counterevidence makes your belief robust in the face of counterargument.

External‐World Skepticism and the New Ethics of Belief

Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT External‐world skepticism challenges, among other things, the epistemic credentials of beliefs about other people. Some external‐world skeptics deny that I know my loved ones exist; some claim that my belief that my loved ones exist is epistemically impermissible. However, abandoning this belief would be highly unattractive.

Toward a “strong” normativity of fear in Hans Jonas and Aristotle

The Southern Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.
Abstract What does it mean to say that one “ought” to undergo an emotion? In The Imperative of Responsibility, Hans Jonas provocatively asserts that twentieth‐century citizens “ought” to fear for the well‐being of future generations. I argue that Jonas's demand is not straightforwardly reducible to claims about the fittingness, expedience, or aretaic ...

We Do Not Know Propositions

Theoria, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Contemporary epistemologists analysing knowledge take (true) propositions to be the object of knowledge. In this paper, I provide an argument for the claim that the object of knowledge is, in fact, the world. The propositions in propositional knowledge ascriptions merely describe the part of the world of which the subject is aware. Kent Bach's

Psychology &Marketing, Volume 43, Issue 7, Page 1675-1686, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Artificial intelligence has become consumers' primary decision‐making resource, raising two questions: how do consumers justify accepting AI as a trusted source of reasoning, and when does this acceptance maintain rather than forfeit their capacity to think independently?

Epistemic authenticity

Noûs, Volume 60, Issue 2, Page 413-432, June 2026.
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. This is a dimension along which one might be better or worse as an epistemic agent that, we argue, cannot be explained with reference to current normative categories in epistemology but ...

Meaning, anti‐alienation, and fulfillment

The Southern Journal of Philosophy, Volume 64, Issue 1, Page 104-122, March 2026.
Abstract One intuition that motivates subjectivist theories about meaning in life is the anti‐alienation intuition, that is, for a life to be meaningful it must engage with the person whose life it is. This article contends that the anti‐alienation and subjectivist theories it motivates are best understood as tracking fulfillment in life; this is an ...
