I am a philosopher of mind and of cognitive science at the University of California, Santa Cruz. My work draws on the history of philosophy and on contemporary research in cognitive psychology, neuroscience, and in computer science. A central theme of my research is understanding what kind of capacity perception is, what it presupposes, and what kind of relationship it affords with the environment. In my recent work, I have developed an anti-constructivist account of perception that contrasts with philosophical and psychological orthodoxy. My present projects concern (a) Bayesian and predictive coding models of perception; (b) conceptual development, and (c) the significance of fMRI research for understanding cognition (with a particular focus on the gender literature). I also have interests in epistemology, in aesthetics, and I am affiliated with the Feminist Studies department at UCSC.

I wrote my dissertation on G.W.F Hegel's Encyclopedia system. I frequently teach courses on Kant, Hegel, and classical German philosophy. But my philosophical interests are wide-ranging; I consider myself a generalist in that I prioritize philosophizing about common problems from "scratch," as it were; I do not, however, sacrifice scholarly precision, and I am always under the guidance of other thinkers. I believe philosophers today must be courageous as thinkers and as persons. Philosophy must recollect its power to think universal questions in urgent and original ways, without becoming entangled in the "publish or perish" mentality and without succumbing to the preestablished values of the secondary literature and the publishing industries. Not all philosophy needs to be published and not all philosophers should be professionally acknowledged. Currently, my research focuses on anti-theodical approaches to the problem of evil, including the philosophy of Benedict Spinoza and the philosophy of Simone Weil. In this vein, I am deeply interested in the meaning of incapacity and pain, thus in philosophies of embodiment; specifically, I am interested in how we appear to live in a culture and in an age that has forgotten the need for (possibly violent) sacrifice. I am heavily influenced by, as I also study and teach, Ch'an Buddhist texts; Mesoamerican poetry and codices, especially that of the Aztecs or the Mexica; Vedic hymns; classical Cynicism; and the Stoic philosophies of Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius. My goals in philosophy are not traditionally professional, but my lifelong dedication to writing and understanding philosophy are authentic.

I am interested in both philosophically-informed-science and scientifically-informed-philosophy. Basically, my projects will try to do one of two things: 1) identify a methodological concern discussed by social scientists and see if providing a philosophical analysis can help the dialogue make progress, or 2) identify a philosophical thesis that seems to involve factual claims about the social world and ask whether the social sciences are equipped to supply them.
