Toward a Funcational Apporach to Normative Reasons
A satisfactory analysis of normative reasons has evaded the field of metaethics for a long time. I argue that this is because of confusion at the conceptual level. Beginning with the debate between Reasons Internalists and Reasons Externalists, I develop an account of our concept of normative …

How We Do What We Do: Joint Action and Spontaneity

Empathy, mental state recognition, and violent behaviour: the influence of situated context

Moral Responsibility and Motivating Reasons: On the Epistemic Condition for Moral Blameworthiness

What Does Value Matter? The Interest-Relational Theory of the Semantics and Metaphysics of Value
