My main research interests are in moral psychology and moral epistemology. With a background in metaethics and philosophy of emotions, I am now interested in better understanding the epistemic role of moral attention and moral emotions. My main hypothesis is that we can better account for the epistemic importance of these attitudes in ethics by thinking of moral inquiry as aiming for understanding rather than knowledge.
While this research is conducted to better understand the role of these moral attitudes in general, I am also interested in better specifying their importance in an ethics of Care and in animal ethics.
