Further information

Current research projects:

My current project is in metaphysics and philosophy of language. One part of the project concerns issues about reduction and identity. My paper 'The Methodology of Genuine Modal Realism' gives a flavour of this component. The philosophy of language component concerns issues about reference and indeterminacy. A connected  part of the project concerns fictionalism, including its contested coherence and some of ts most promising applications.
