Research

​​

My research engages with metaphysics of mind, metaphilosophy, and philosophy of religion. I also write on non-Western philosophy, intercultural and comparative philosophy, ethics, and political and jurisprudential philosophy.

​

My dissertation addresses the issue of what a philosophical problem is, how we ought to engage with philosophical problems, and what counts as philosophical progress. This analysis engages with current and perennial questions in epistemology and metaphilosophy. I develop a metaphilosophical methodology I call receptivism. This is the view that to do good philosophy, one ought to be receptive to what I call `pre-formalised notions’: propositions in simple language, uncommitted to only a particular formalisation, that have a truth priority over the formalised notion. It is these pre-formalised notions that drive philosophical debate, and thus, they must be addressed, and one ought to be receptive to the truth of such notions, if one is to do their due philosophical diligence.
