- What does the distinctively first-person manner by which we can know our beliefs consist in?
- Do we have voluntary control over what we believe?
- What does self-deception consist in?
- While we believe that fictional things don’t exist, can we have emotions for them, as we do for real-life things?
- Do psychoanalytic terms like ‘repression’ and ‘sublimation’ track actual mental phenomena? If so, might these pertain to the issues above?
My work concerns questions like these.
