My research is focused primarily on the work of John Dewey. I also write often about the work of Jürgen Habermas. Other research interests include pragmatic accounts of science and scientific classification.

Work in Progress

I'm currently working with Dr. Pete Zachar on a book concerning pragmatic accounts of scientific classification. Also, I'm commenting soon on a paper concerning eugenics.
