I am interested in the epistemology of philosophy and how different accounts of language and thought fit into the correct epistemological story. Thus I think about things like: conceptual analysis, aprioricity, conceivability, analyticity, epistemic and metaphysical possibility, semantic theory, meaning, concepts, counterfactuals, rationalism, intuition, and philosophical methodology. [I am also concerned with methodological problems or meta-issues in the philosophy of language, e.g. what is (or should be) the aim of semantic theorizing and the philosophy of language generally?]
Aside from these core issues I have an ongoing interest in math and logic and I spend a lot of time thinking about certain paradoxes and puzzles (e.g. Yablo's paradox, Newcomb's problem, etc.). When I am really bored I (still!) write "this sentence is false" on unexpected surfaces in an attempt to make the world more paradoxical.
