I am currently focused on exploring the intersection of action, communication, and values. I intend to describe the relationship between value ascriptions and ethical discourse. Specifically, I want to understand how the ascription of a value to an event is coherently revisable in light of evidence. I want to focus on revisions motivated by dialectical communication and self-perception. More generally, I am interested in the perplexing relationships between language, perception, action, and embodiment.
Thus far my education has emphasized formal semantics, the history of German language philosophy, and virtue ethics.
