Research
My primary interests lie in metaphysics and epistemology (and their intersections). I devote a significant amount of time pondering over the concept of time, including its metaphysical and epistemological aspects. But, I am secretly interested in the metaphysics of x, for most x (including both historical and contemporary perspectives) as well as numerous issues in epistemology.
In addition, I really love the history of philosophy, especially Ancient Greek (particularly Aristotle) and Kant.
