Welcome to my homepage. I'm a philosopher at the University of Macquarie (Sydney). My main interests are in the philosophy of cognitive science (particular conscoiusness), but I also dabble in applied ethics and philosophy of religion. You will find a few recent and forthcoming papers below, and a more extensive selection of my work on my publications page. From 1 January 2007 I will be a fellow of St. Catherine's College, Oxford. 

My current projects include writing a book on the unity of consciousness, editing the Oxford Companion to Consciousness (with Axel Cleeremans & Patrick Wilken), editing a volume on delusions and self-deception (with Jordi Fernandez), and editing PSYCHE, an official journal of the Association for the Scientific Study of Consciousness. I collaborate with Neil Levy (CAPPE, Melbourne) on a project to investigate the implications of research in cognitive science for accounts of moral responsibility, and with Elisabeth Pacherie (Institut Jean Nicod, Paris) on a project concerning delusions and the phenomenology of agency.

     

Some (reasonably) recent work:


The feeling of doing: Deconstructing the phenomenology of agency

Phenomenology and delusions: Who put the 'alien' in 'alien control'? (with Elisabeth Pacherie and Melisssa Green) 

Phenomenology and the feeling of doing: Wegner on the conscious will
