My chief interest is metaphysics, with major interests in philosophy of biology, moral philosophy, and publications across a range of areas including philosophy of mind, philosophy of religion, and philosophical logic, among others. I have written books on metaphysics and ethics, and my latest book, The Metaphysics of Good and Evil, was published in 2020. I am currently writing a book for Springer Nature: Investigating Biological Mistakes.

What's new:

Miracles and the Wooden Leg Problem

The Metaphysics of Good and Evil (London: Routledge, 2020)
