"Technical knowledge as scientific knowledge in Aristotle" (with Simona Aimar) is now forthcoming in Phronesis

My book manuscript The Practical Mind: Skills, Knowledge, and Intelligence, has now been accepted and is forthcoming for Cambridge University Press.

A new paper in philosophy of language and action theory is forthcoming in Australasian Journal of Philosophy, "Intentionalism out of control," jointly with Alex Radulescu. We explore the action theoretical underpinnings of the debate between conventionalism and intentionalism about demonstratives, we argue on action theoretical bases that common arguments for conventionalism fail, and at the same time that the best version of intentionalism must give up claims of control in acts of referring. A notable consequence is that (also)referring is not an essentially intentional action.

I posted the final version of "The Epistemology of Skills", for the third edition of the Blackwell companion to Epistemology (edited by Kurt Sylvan).
