Personal profile

Research interests

I work primarily in the area of Metaphysics, but my work from there spans to cover some aspects of the Philosophy of Mind and Ethics. My PhD, and work for some time after, focused primarily on the nature of properties, causal powers and causation. I also have a long standing interest in how our agency can be accommodated in the natural world. In particular, I have research interests in the areas of mental causation, free will and moral responsibility.
