I'm a Kreitman postdoctoral at the philosophy department. My research interests lie in logic: philosophy of logic, as well as philosophical logic. My main project is to provide phenomenological foundations for logic: I claim that logical concepts, and in particular the concept of logical consequence, originate in the various ways in which we grasp objects. Additionally (and relatedly), I've written on issues such as logical pluralism, metainferences, and the normativity of logic.

Arieh Schwartz

I'm a postdoctoral researcher working in the philosophy of cognitive science and the philosophy of mind under the supervision of Dr. Nir Fresco. Much of my past work attempts to understand the metaphysical and epistemological relations between memory and imagination. Questions that have particularly interested me concern whether memory and imagination are distinct mental processes, and whether the constructiveness of memory undermines its status as source of knowledge about the past. Currently, I am working in collaboration with Fresco to provide an account of how spatial knowledge via cognitive maps is related to and differs from mental states like belief and desire. This is part of an ongoing project to understand informational distinctions between types of long-term memory.

Will Sharp

My research focuses on how theorists should think about perceptual phenomenal character. For the most part, I think theorists should think of it as nonexistent. But in my work in which I suppose it exists, I explore various puzzles for externalist views of perceptual experience. Because many of those puzzles revolve around uncanny color experiences, I also like to think about the metaphysics of color.

I’m working right now with Dr Ori Beck on his naive realist epistemology project.
