My research is in epistemology, ethics, and social and political philosophy.

​

Most of my work in philosophy is driven by an interest in understanding the structure of our normative domains (moral, prudential, epistemic) and how this shapes our conception of rationality. Can there be genuine conflicts within these domains? If so, what role should ideals such as coherence play within rationality?

 

I pursue these questions both at a theoretical level – examining the possibility and nature of normative conflicts – and at an applied level – showing that troubling phenomena, such as fanaticism or conspiracy thinking, can be explained in terms of failures in how people relate to normative conflicts within themselves. These are my main lines of research: one on normativity and rationality; the other, on radicalization. 

 

On Radicalization: I study the mechanisms by which people become radicalized. I argue that phenomena such as fanaticism and conspiracy thinking involve not a lack of rationality but an excess, namely, taking an otherwise rational inclination – pursuing coherence – to its extreme,
at the cost of being responsive to the complexity of our normative lives, and the world.

​​

On Normativity and Rationality: I examine how we ought to relate to the possibility of genuine normative conflicts. I argue that coherence as an ideal is often assumed rather than defended, in ways that overlook its costs, namely, assuming a rigid notion of coherence can impoverish our picture of epistemic and moral normativity, and leads us toward a misguided conception of rationality.

​​

I draw on modern philosophy, especially Nietzsche, to inform my work on these main research areas. I am especially interested in Nietzsche's notions of nihilism and ressentiment.

​

I also work on the Philosophy of AI: I explore how AI technologies – from automated bots and machine-learning recommendation systems to LLMs – interact with these coherence-seeking dispositions in ways that amplify and entrench them.
