Research


My research centers on the history and philosophy of science. The strain of my research that focuses on philosophy of science centers on experiment, theory building, and the epistemology of science. Another main area of research is the history of philosophy, from Kant and neo-Kantianism to early analytic philosophy. In this area, recent work has focused especially on the development of, and conflicts between, naturalism and theories committed to some form of the a priori.
