WORK IN PROGRESS

[Under review]

I defend a novel theory of vagueness, which resolves traditional puzzles to do with tolerance and indeterminacy by giving up the transitivity of entailment.

[Under review]
I show how to reconcile tension between a simple picture of communication and the observation that might-claims sometimes lead to information loss.

 

[Under review] (with John Hawthorne)
We argue that the logic of normality is a non-normal modal logic. Specifically, we offer counter-examples to the principle of agglomeration.


[Under review]
I argue that knowledge is com
patible with having arbitrarily low positive credence.
