It is my pleasure to introduce the Cocoon's newest contributor, Wesley Buckwalter. Wesley received his PhD from the City University of New York Graduate Center, and is currently Banting Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Waterloo.
Wesley specializes in epistemology, philosophy of mind, and cognitive science, and his work examines a wide variety of phenomena–knowledge, belief, delusion, consciousness, luck, morality, etc.–"in light of pragmatic factors that arise in the course of practical reasoning and decision-making important for our everyday lives."
Wesley has published a ton of great stuff, and is co-editor [with Justin Sytsma] of the forthcoming Blackwell Companion to Experimental Philosophy. His other publications include:
John Turri & Wesley Buckwalter (forthcoming). Descartes’s Schism, Locke’s Reunion: Completing the Pragmatic Turn in Epistemology. American Philosophical Quarterly.
Wesley Buckwalter & Jonathan Schaffer (2015). Knowledge, Stakes, and Mistakes. Noûs 49 (2):201–234.
Wesley Buckwalter (2014). Intuition Fail: Philosophical Activity and the Limits of Expertise. Philosophy and Phenomenological Research 89 (2).
James R. Beebe & Wesley Buckwalter (2010). The Epistemic Side-Effect Effect. Mind and Language 25 (4):474-498.
