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