I am an associate professor of Philosophy at the University of Sussex. I am also the co-director of the Centre for Logic, Language and Information (CeLLi) at the Institute of Philosophy, School of Advanced Study, University of London.
I did my undergraduate degree in Philosophy and French Literature at the University of Geneva, and received a B.Phil. and a D.Phil. from the University of Oxford.
My main philosophical interests are in the philosophy of logic, the philosophy of language, epistemology and the history of analytic philosophy.
My recent work has focused mostly on logic and its relation to deductive reasoning — from foundational, normative and epistemological perspectives. My book, Reasoning and Carroll’s Regress: A Cognitivist View, is forthcoming with Oxford University Press. It is in large part concerned with the relevance of Lewis Carroll’s regress argument (in his Mind 1895 paper ‘What the Tortoise Said to Achilles’) to the philosophy of logic.
