Background
I'm a PhD student working in metaethics - in particular the 'Now What?' problem for moral error theorists. I'm interested in various questions concerning the moral error theory, but also normativity in general. I am also interested in how insights from sociology, psychology and behavioural economics can be deployed in ethical and metaethical debates.
