Description of Research

My research has been mainly focused around the nature of moral

responsibility. The thesis of my dissertation is that the necessary and

sufficient conditions for moral responsibility are rationality, self-

control, and not being wildly misinformed. In arguing for this thesis I

explain what each condition entails. Consequently, my research braches

into internalist theories of epistemic responsibility, the relationship

between one's will and one's rationality, and an actual-sequence account of

control over actions and beliefs. These are the areas that I wrote my PhD

comprehensive examinations on, which included an oral examination by my PhD

committee, however, they are not the only areas that I have worked on. I

have also explored the issue of collective responsibility, including the

importance of how a collective is structured as well as the role of memory

in identifying a collective. Another topic I have been working on is the

realism/anti-realism debate about morality. I am particularly interested

in quasi-realism and how it fits within a compatibilist picture of moral

responsibility. I plan to continue the work I have begun in my

dissertation, but also to pay much more attention to these later two areas

of research.
