Main Interests

My research is in two main areas:

• philosophy of statistical inference, with some sidelines in philosophy of probability and other parts of mathematics;
• applications of philosophy of science to research policy, especially as it affects Evidence-Based Medicine.

See main interests chatty version for a 5-minute talk on my interests.
See work in progress and my teaching pages for online material.

When teaching, I specialise in philosophy of science. But more specifically, I’ve taught:

• philosophy of cosmology
• ethics
• decision theory
• philosophy of mind
• logic
• general philosophy of science, especially realism
• history of analytic philosophy
• philosophy of probability and statistics
• philosophy of medicine
• philosophy and sociology of biology
• philosophy and sociology of information technology
• exobiology
  and (as one-offs) a few other areas. For more detail, see philosophy courses. Jason
