Paper notes – supplementary notes and errata.


There is no single, correct way of categorizing my published papers by topic, but here is one approach:

  • Papers developing, defending, and explaining inferentialist and conventionalist theories in logic, mathematics, and beyond [(1),(3),(4),(8),(24),(32),(33),(37)] 
  • Papers about meaning-change, analyticity, and the a priori that don't assume conventionalism [(10),(22),(27),(38)] 
  • Papers on quantifier variance [(2),(11),(13),(15),(23)]
  • Metaontology, metasemantics, and metaphilosophy papers that don't assume quantifier variance [(5),(9),(17),(19),(29)]
  • Papers about determinacy and truth in mathematics [(12),(16),(18)]
  • Papers developing epistemological challenges for metaphysical forms of realism [(6),(7)]
  • Papers aiming at naturalistic theories of rule-following, inference, consciousness, and representation [(14),(20),(21),(31),(35)]
  • Papers that try to solve the grue puzzle/new riddle of induction [(25),(28)] 
  • A paper defending sense-data and tackling external world skepticism [(26)]
  • Papers on truth and the liar paradox [(30),(34),(36)]
  • A paper on political philosophy and natural rights [(39)]

I'm a philosopher with broad interests.


Shadows of Syntax will be published in paperback in the summer of 2026.


I'm currently finishing a book on the liar paradox, tentatively titled Dissolving the Liar Paradox. Bestseller list, here I come!
