Research interests

Jonathan's research focuses on issues in ethics and epistemology, broadly construed. He is especially interested in issues to do with reasons, rationality, value, and normativity, across both epistemic and practical domains, and is happy to supervise PhD work on any of these topics. Jonathan also has general interests in action theory, normative ethics, and various issues in philosophy of mind and language.
