| Selim Berker did his graduate work in philosophy at MIT before joining the Harvard faculty in July 2006. Although his philosophical interests are wide-ranging, his current research tends to focus on issues in ethics, epistemology, and -- especially -- the interface of ethics and epistemology. He also spends an inordinate amount of time thinking about philosophical methodology. |
Some papers he has written:
"Does Evolutionary Psychology Show That Normativity Is Mind-Dependent?" (forthcoming in a volume edited by Justin D'Arms and Daniel Jacobson).
"The Rejection of Epistemic Consequentialism" (forthcoming in Philosophical Issues).
"Epistemic Teleology and the Separateness of Propositions" (forthcoming in Philosophical Review).
"Gupta's Gambit," Philosophical Studies 152 (2011), pp. 17-39.
"The Normative Insignificance of Neuroscience," Philosophy & Public Affairs 37:4 (2009), pp. 293-329.
"Luminosity Regained," Philosopher's Imprint 8:2 (2008), pp. 1-22.
"Particular Reasons," Ethics 118:1 (2007), pp. 109-139. |
