I begin by outlining my research on Bertrand Russell, Free-Will in Early Modern Philosophy, and the Problem of Evil, and highlight some of my main ideas on these topics as put forth in publications from 2013 - 2015. I then turn to my main research interest: David Hume and the Radical Enlightenment, and say a bit more about my views on the current state of Hume research, my main published ideas relating to Hume, and some of my main publication plans on this topic going forward.

Everyone is welcome.
