Research
- Member for

Interests:
global justice
the moral institution of promising
the concept of human rights
the problem of explanation and understanding (esp. explanation within understanding)
the metaphsyics of mind and rule-following
consciousness and self-consciousness (epistemology)
My tradition of choice: Hobbes, Kant, Hegel, Oakeshott (and some old fashioned metaphysics)
Currently working on: the question of the origins of justice in Hobbes, the relationship between duty and rights in Kant, and the notion of rule-following in Oakeshott and Wittgenstein
