Research

Most of my research has focused on the philosophy of law, political philosophy and the methodology of the social sciences. Within the philosophy of law, my scholarship has emphasized issues in jurisprudence and the nature of responsibility in the law. In political philosophy, I have written on the nature of authority, democracy and the foundations of contractarianism. Otherwise I have focused on the foundations on rational choice theory in its applications to economics, political theory and law.
