I am Senior Lecturer in the Department of Philosophy at King's College London. My primary area of research is Immanuel Kant's theoretical and practical philosophy. I also work on Early Modern Philosophy generally, and have written on epistemology. My current research work is on Kant's theory of concepts and the philosophy of Bernard Mandeville. I have published articles in these areas, and have also written a short book on Kant's moral philosophy.
