My article 'Emotions and their Reasons' is out in Inquiry!🤘 Losses are reason for sadness and injustices are reason for anger.. ..but what do we mean when we say there are reasons for emotions? Are there distinctively affective reasons? I think so. tinyurl.com/hz5eszhh

Happy to have been interviewed for this article! Along with other philosophers I admire - @myishacherry and @mkrishnamurthyX 🙏💪 Embrace the Outrage, Canadians🔥 theglobeandmail.com/life/art…

Rage is the new Canadian mood. And there’s a strong case for staying good and mad

National rage might be just the emotion we need right now, but, as history tells us, there’s an art to anger

🚨After three intense days reviewing 229 applications to the lab, only 20 candidates will be contacted for the next steps. This inspired me to create a short guide to help students succeed in applying to grad school. I've also prepared a podcast episode on this topic : 📕Document: zenodo.org/records/14568040 🎙️Podcast: open.spotify.com/episode/5uG…

Excited to see my work featured in @bigthink! 🧠✨ Delve into whether your moral choices are guided by reason or emotion: bigthink.com/thinking/are-yo…

Are your moral choices driven by logic or emotion?

In the 18th century, David Hume argued that we are only motivated to do something if our passions direct us to do so. Was he right?

This asshole's election is terrible for climate action given the little time we have to act decisively. But we live in a world of Polycentric climate governance and other agents have a duty to pick up the slack. And that includes with Canada. Do not vote Conservative. Please.

New article published in Erkenntnis 😃 As the title says, I argue that emotions represent properties unconsciously. I also discuss which theories are in contradiction with this claim, its links to conscious representation and to unconscious emotions. link.springer.com/article/10…

Emotions Represent Evaluative Properties Unconsciously

Erkenntnis - Drawing on affective sciences, I argue that normally elicited emotions involve a component—the appraisal process—that represents evaluative properties unconsciously. More...
