My research centers around a basic question in the philosophy of language and mind: in virtue of what do words and sentences have the meanings they do? My dissertation, “The Discursive Foundations of Meaning,” is a systematic attempt to answer this question in naturalistic terms. From this core philosophical project, my research expands outward to encompass a variety of issues in the foundations of meaning and content, as well as some specific topics in semantics, pragmatics, philosophy of mathematics, and philosophy of cognitive science.
