(Ph.D., Harvard University). Her research focuses on Kant and on issues in contemporary epistemology and philosophy of mind. Her work on Kant includes articles on Kant's aesthetic theory, philosophy of biology, and theory of judgment. Recent articles on contemporary issues have been concerned with the content of perceptual experience and the question of whether experiences can be reasons for belief. Much of her teaching has been on 17th- and 18th-century philosophy, but she has also taught courses dealing with the philosophy of biology, with philosophical issues regarding race and culture, and with various topics in theory of knowledge and philosophy of mind.
