Semantic and Mathematical Foundations for Intuitionism
… light of the failure of Dummett's foundation for intuitionism, I propose and carry out a reexamination of Brouwer's own writings. Brouwer is frequently interpreted as a proto-Dummettian about his own mathematics. This is due to excessive emphasis on some of his more polemical writings and …

A Feminist Defense of Moderate Moral Intuitionism
… first article argues in favour of moderate moral intuitionism, the view that while any successful moral epistemology must be intuitionist to at least some extent, it must also take intuitions to be fallible.

"Moral perception": an examination and revision
… frequently misunderstood—varieties of moral intuitionism. In chapter 1, I take up and examine recent characterizations of moral perception in the literature. As I make clear below, there is no single account of this position, and consequently the first chapter represents an …

A defence of predicativism as a philosophy of mathematics
… predicativism might collapses into mathematical intuitionism. I assess some of the arguments for intuitionism, especially the Dummettian argument from indefinite extensibility. I argue that the natural numbers are not indefinitely extensible, and that, although the continuum is, we can …

The Justification of Deontology
… normative ethical theories: Rossian intuitionism, Kantianism, and Neo-Thomism. In each of these chapters, I lay out the relevant portion of the view’s deontological apparatus, analyzing it both for its plausibility as a whole and for its ability to justify constraints of the …

Homogeneous models and their toposes of supported sets
This thesis studies homogeneous models by looking at their topos of finitely supported sets. Of various well-known toposes, such as cubical sets and simplicial sets, it is shown that they can be presented as a topos of this kind. It is argued that these examples can be understood as coming from a …
