The main areas of my research specialization include social and political philosophy, the philosophy of law, and American pragmatism. In addition to numerous articles and book chapters, I am the author of Pragmatist Egalitarianism(2018), the editor of the Cambridge Companion to Rorty (2021), and the co-editor of The Moral Psychology of Anxiety(2024),Pragmatism and Justice(2017) and Pessimism of the Intellect, Optimism of the Will: The Political Philosophy of Kai Nielsen (2012). Another edited volume, dedicated to the 50th anniversary of Richard Rorty’s seminal, Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature, will be out next year.

My latest book, which explores some of the many connections between anxiety and philosophy, was published with Oxford University Press in summer 2024.

I am currently working on a new book project, still in early stages of research, about the moral and political philosophy of legendary American pragmatist philosopher William James.

Many of my publications can be read and downloaded on my PhilPeople page.
