  • Research interest is in understanding the sense in which belief aims at truth. This question doesn't neatly fit into any traditional area of philosophy, but rather sits at the intersection of many areas, such as epistemology, the philosophy of mind, and the philosophy of language. My main interest in this question though, lies in understanding the normative relation between truth and belief, and what this might tell us about normativity in general, which is the central topic of metaethics.
