Profile

"I write about topics in Philosophy of Mind and Value Theory.

Some of the topics that I have written on include:  the nature of consciousness, the representational contents of various perceptual experiences, the evaluative nature of emotional experiences, the different ways that value is represented in phenomenal character, life’s meaningfulness, and sexual consent."
