My research is primarily concerned with intentionality in its various guises - states (like belief and knowledge), acts (like judgment and assertion), and processes (like cognition) that carry information about other things. I have written extensively on speech act theory and the theory of knowledge, and have published on numerical cognition and the metaphysics of truth. I am currently developing an interest in the philosophy of artificial intelligence.
