Right now I'm at the stage of letting go of pictures that are fun for slides but don't work to include in the published version of my book. I will particularly miss this pair of images, which illustrate the difference between homuncular and anti-homuncular conceptions of attributability.

I've just signed a contract with @princetonupress.bsky.social for my book When Things Get Personal: A Philosophical Guide to Conflict, and am getting down to my final round of revisions. Philosophy got really exciting for me when my research met real life, and I look forward to showing you how.

I'm a philosopher interested in how our understanding of what it is to be a person can shape our understanding of the dynamics of interpersonal relationships and conflict of all kinds. Looking for new ways to connect three years after quitting X.
