I study morality from an interdisciplinary perspective that draws on my background in philosophy and psychology. My primary research interests are:
Psychology
- Moral psychology
- Experimental philosophy
- Psychology of metaethics
- The evolution of morality
Philosophy
- Moral realism & antirealism
- Intuition & philosophical methodology
- Metaphilosophy
- Free will
- Consciousness
My research focuses on the the psychology of metaethics, metaphilosophy, and methodological issues in experimental philosophy. Most of my research centers on whether nonphilosophers are moral realists, and the implications these empirical findings have for philosophy. I am intensely skeptical of the methods employed in both mainstream philosophy and psychology, and a great deal of my work also centers on critiquing the methods typically employed in both fields.
