Research Overview

The central focus of my research is on the work of Rudolf Carnap and W.V. Quine. I am primarily interested in their empiricism and naturalism, the consequences of these views for epistemology, philosophical methodology, and the philosophy of science and mathematics, and the views on language, meaning, truth, and convention they offer to articulate their epistemological and methodological commitments. Part of this research is interpretive. But I also aim to do philosophy with them: to clarify or improve key ideas in their work to recommend for consideration.
