I work on the nature of value—ethical, aesthetic, and beyond—and the nature of our relationship to it as minded creatures. Currently, I am writing about moral knowledge, love, alienation, the first-person perspective, and whether value is real (it is). My work in these contemporary areas wears its historical heart on its sleeve: my research is informed and inspired throughout by a number of figures from the history of philosophy, most centrally Plato and Nietzsche.
Beginning summer 2023, I will be Assistant Professor in the department of philosophy at Northwestern University. Prior to that, I was Assistant Professor at Clemson University. I completed my PhD at the University of Chicago, and my BPhil and MMathPhil at the University of Oxford.
