Jared Warren

I'm a philosopher. Lately I've been thinking about liar paradoxes, external world skepticism, Boltzman brains, the problems of induction, attempts to justify the state, and the definition of "art", among other things. Here is an up-to-date CV.


I can be reached by e-mail at jaredwar@stanford.edu.

Paper notes.


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)]
  • Papers about meaning-change, analyticity, and the a priori that don't assume conventionalism [(10),(22),(27)]
  • Papers on quantifier variance [(2),(11),(13),(15),(23)]
  • Metaontology and metaphilosophy papers that don't assume quantifier variance [(5),(9),(17),(19)]
  • 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)]
  • A metasemantics paper that doesn't assume inferentialism [(29)]
  • Two papers on truth and the liar paradox [(30),(34)]
