About the research
In recent years my research has mainly concerned the nature of reasons, the distinction between good, simpliciter and good-for, personal values, and the particular pattern of value analysis known as fitting attitude analysis. Currently I am working on a new metaethical theory (On-Conditionalism). Presented "How to locate value in Moral progress" (Amsterdam); Good and Good-for-and the logical Consequence argument" (Aarhus, Geneve). Some other recent work: * "Locating Value in Moral Progress", Ethical Theory and Moral Practice.
