About

I am a Reader in Philosophy at Oxford Brookes University, & NYU in London.I am also a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts and a research member of the Nomos Network for Applied Philosophy: http://www.ub.edu/nomos


RESEARCH

My research interests are unfashionably broad. While much of my work focuses primarily on the philosophy of action and its explanation (see http://philosophyofaction.com/) it typically cuts across a variety of traditionally distinct fields including the philosophy of history and moral psychology. I also work on other topics (from causation to moral particularism) and have a special interest in Hume, Hegel, Wittgenstein, and ancient tragedy.I welcome comments on any drafts I upload.

Currently, I am finishing a monograph on the theory of motivation (for Palgrave Macmillan) and an edited volume on Human Nature(Cambridge University Press, with Mark Cain). I shall then resume work on an introduction to the philosophy of action (for Wiley-Blackwell).

I am the editor of  'A Companion to the Philosophy of Action' (Wiley-Blackwell, with Timothy O' Connor:(http://eu.wiley.com/WileyCDA/WileyTitle/productCd-1405187352.html), 'New Essays on the Explanation fo Action' (Palgrave Macmillan: http://www.palgrave.com/products/title.aspx?PID=279045), and 'Hegel on Action' (Palgrave Macmillan, with Arto Laitinen: http://www.palgrave.com/products/title.aspx?PID=349906), as well as Palgrave Macmillan's 'Philosophers in Depth' series (with Stephen Boulter: http://www.palgrave.com/philosophy/pid.asp). I am edit the  Philosophy of Action at PhilPapers (http://philpapers.org/browse/philosophy-of-action/).


TEACHING

I teach undergraduate classes on Moral Psychology, Wittgenstein's Later Philosophy, Hellenistic Philosophy, Introduction to Ethics, and Early Modern Philosophy, as well as an MA class on Mind & Action.
I  welcome enquiries from potential  PhD students who wish to work any areas relating to my research interests.
