A new paper of mine, now forthcoming in Noûs! The first fruits of the postdoc! Check it out if you're interested in ontological nihilism (or just want to know some reasons for thinking that at least something exists)! philpapers.org/rec/MASCWR-2

Ontological nihilists repudiate ontology altogether, maintaining that ontological structure is an unnecessary addition to our theorising. Recent defences of the view involve a sophisticated combinatio...

Has it always cost so much money to just attend the Joint Sessions?? I don't remember having to pay 180 quid before? That's so much and doesn't even include dinner...

Here's a new paper of mine, forthcoming in Analysis. It's on two ways of making precise the distinction between truth in vs. truth at a possible world. Check it out if that sort of thing floats your boat! philpapers.org/rec/MASTDA-8

Here's a new paper of mine for those who might be interested. "Modality, truth and mere picture thinking". Excitingly enough, it's my first published piece on truth in vs. truth at a possible world, which is what I did my doctoral thesis on. philpapers.org/rec/MASMTA

The OUP ebook pdfs are always so awful to read. Just a huge wall of tiny text and little silly brackets telling you when you're really on a new page. Don't understand why and surprised I haven't heard more people complain about them.
