Besides working on my PhD dissertation, I've been busy developing some manuscripts:
Underdetermination in Mathematical Structuralism (Work in Progress)
[The paper develops an argument against structuralist responses to Benacerraf's puzzle that rely on first- or second-order (κ-)categoricity claims. I examine what I take to be plausible strategies available within key structuralist approaches (non-eliminative, abstractionist, and Ramsey-sentence accounts) and argue that each gives rise to similar epistemic concerns.]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 adequate use of formal semantics (though anachronic) 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 rather points toward a proto-structuralist approach to it.]
