RESEARCH INTERESTS
My main areas of research focus on a priori knowledge, reliabilism, naturalism, rational intuition, and the rationalist-empiricist debate. I am also interested in the naturalist problem of mathematical knowledge; externalist accounts of mental content and the problem of self-knowledge; Indian theories of the self; the nature of consciousness and intentionality; and the many metaphysical and epistemological issues that arise within Early Modern Philosophy, such as skepticism and the philosophy of perception.
