MA, Tel Aviv; PhD, Harvard

 Professor of Philosophy
 University of British Columbia

My work falls mainly within an intersection of the philosophy of language, the philosophy of mind, and metaphysics, although I have also done some work in the philosophy of law. Recent topics of interest include metasemantics, cognitive attitudes and their reports, the metaphysics of modality and essence, and epistemic modality in relation to metaphysical modality. I recently wrote a book called Necessary Intentionality that brings central themes in the metaphysics of modality to bear on cognitive matters, most notably the aboutness of mental states and episodes. I am an Associate Editor for the Canadian Journal of Philosophy.
