I have organized my research interests under the following headings:

  • The dynamics of complex systems
  • Scientific explanation
  • Philosophical applications of cognitive science
  • Concepts
  • Inferring physical probabilities from symmetries
  • How we get a handle on physical probability
  • The social structure of science
  • Confirmation theory
  • Special sciences
  • Causation
  • Miscellaneous

These areas overlap; you will find some of my work appearing under more than one heading.
