I am Professor of Philosophy at the University of Waterloo. I work mostly in philosophy of economics, ethics, epistemology, and philosophy of sex and love.
My current research focuses on the ethics of formalization and quantification. Topics include:
- 1) the role of ethical values in optimality methods like cost-benefit analysis
- 2) normative analysis of mathematization and formalization in economics
- 3) discrimination and bias in the use of algorithms
In the past, I’ve also written on economic theories of sex, love, and altruism, economics imperialism, moral reasoning, value pluralism, moral dilemmas, sexual objectification, theories of truth, ambivalence, and other topics.
I recently started posting again at my blog, where I write about a mix of personal, philosophical, and everyday matters.

My books are Moral Reasoning in a Pluralistic World and Philosophy of Sex and Love: An Opinionated Introduction.
