Brief Introduction

Most of my work is downloadable at PhilPapers. You can find my CV here.

My research and teaching interests center around ethics, but also include Nietzsche, epistemology, metaphysics, and philosophy of mind and action. I wrote Humean Nature (2017) and co-edited Nietzsche and Morality (2007), both published by Oxford University Press.

From 2014 to 2015, I had the honor of being a Faculty Fellow at Tulane University's Murphy Institute.

In 2012, I won a Promising Researcher award from the NUS Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. They did this nice little interview with me.

Outside media coverage of my work includes this fun interview at the Huffington Post. Other interviews with me include this conversation on Australian public radio and this in-depth conversation with Luke Muehlhauser in 2010.

My best-known paper outside academia is "Possible Girls", which explains how to have a romantic relationship with someone in another possible world. It was the topic of Valentine's Day articles in Vox and the Washington Post!

Other Information

I've been blogging for several years, first at the Ethical Werewolf and then at Donkeylicious. My currently eponymous blog is here.

Occasionally other philosophers ask me to write for their blogs. In 2017, I tried on glasses that would help me see green properly for the first time. (I have poor color vision.) I wrote about whether I was seeing a color I couldn't imagine before. I've written for Daily Nous about the need for more journal space, and for Philosophers' Cocoon about working in Singapore.

In 2013, I gave a TED talk on moral luck, which you can see on YouTube. Other videos you might find interesting are my podcast with Alex Malpass on the fine-turning argument, and a PhilosophyTV appearance with Jason Brennan.

In 2008, my blog "War or Car" illustrated 121 things you could buy for the price of the Iraq War.
