My research focuses on our being social creatures and how that changes our approach to questions in epistemology, virtue theory, the philosophy of religion, and their intersections. My work is interdisciplinary and often involves generating or assessing philosophical models in light of empirical findings in psychology, anthropology, and neuroscience.
I am currently engaged in four long-term projects. The first is an investigation of divine hiddenness within the philosophy of religion from the perspective of the cognitive science of religion and anthropology. The second, which is something of a companion to the first, is a re-thinking of theological doctrines related to the nature of the human condition in light of empirical findings. The third develops the application of prosocial traits such as forgiveness, gratitude, and hope to the epistemic domain. Finally, the fourth is to motivate and apply an ethic of non-violence to a range of issues at the intersection of ethics and epistemology.
