Nietzsche's Conception of Skepticism as Intellectual Virtue and Vice
European Journal of Philosophy, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 1466-1485, December 2025.Abstract Recent approaches are unable to make full sense of Nietzsche's distinction between weak and strong skepticism (BGE 208–209; A54).

Moral Praise and Moral Performance
European Journal of Philosophy, Volume 33, Issue 3, Page 1192-1201, September 2025.Abstract According to some, luck forms an inevitable part of admirable moral agency. According to others, it is incompatible with a basic principle of moral worth. What's the issue? Is there a ‘problem’ of moral luck; or are there many, or none?

Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, Volume 111, Issue 2, Page 590-606, September 2025.Abstract In some cases of communication, the hearer misunderstands the referential part of the speaker's utterance although she identifies the speaker's referent. What more is needed for referential understanding? One view is that the hearer must know what the speaker refers to.
