My current research centers on three intertwined topics: (a) the epistemology of scientific methodology and scientific reasoning, (b) the epistemological and logical characteristics of modality, and (b) the agent-based normativity. I believe in virtue reliabilism, and apply it to the analysis of scientific methodology and scientific reasoning; I believe that modality has something to do with epistemology (and vice versa), and try to see it from an epistemological perspective and implement it on top of defeasible reasoning; I believe in agent-based normativity, under which justification and rationality both fall, and try to argue against any fact-based normativity.
