British philosopher who has worked on the nature of mental content, the semantics of natural language, and epistemic warrant — developing accounts of how content is individuated and how a priori knowledge is possible.
Developed the notion of epistemic warrant transmission failure — cases where valid inference from warranted premises fails to transmit warrant to the conclusion because the warrant depends on the conclusion. Contributed to the semantics of belief reports and mental content.
No recorded minds influenced.
