Besides working on my PhD dissertation, I've been busy developing some manuscripts:
A Structuralist Response to Benacerraf's Puzzle via System-Abstraction
(Work in Progress)
[I examine several (non-eliminative) ways structuralists might approach Benacerraf's question of what numbers are, and argue that they face serious epistemic and semantic difficulties that undermine their elucidatory efforts. I then develop a framework centered on system-abstraction principles and show that this approach secures a form of determinacy of mathematical structures while preserving the desiderata for a cogent structuralist response to Benacerraf’s puzzle.]Russell's consistent response done right (Work in Progress)
[The paper argues that Russell's response to Newman's criticism is, in fact, consistent with most part of his Analysis of Matter, and that an arguably natural use of non-standard higher-order semantics can preserve his views from the risk of trivialization.]Language and science in the Tractatus: from Hertzian mechanics to Wittgenstein’s view on physics (Work in Progres)
[The paper argues that Wittgenstein’s adoption of Hertz’s formal deflationism ends up ruling out a purported conventionalist view of physics in the Tractatus, and points toward an approach that foreshadows the idea of rational reconstruction.]
