Faculty Member, Philosophy

About

I work mainly in political philosophy, with special interest in epistemic approaches to democratic theory. My most recent book has just come out with Cambridge University Press; it is titled *Democracy and Moral Conflict*. 

In addition, I work on pragmatism.  My 2007 book, *A Pragmatist Philosophy of Democracy* argues against Deweyan democracy and for a social epistemic conception of democracy rooted in Charles Peirce's epistemology.  Currently, I am working on papers on value pluralism, religion in politics, social epistemic norms, and public argumentation.
