Works in Progress - PDFs are not attached for future blind review; yet I am ususally happy to share drafts (if ready) upon email request
Currently, my major research interest concentrates on causal non-humeanism and interactive social ontology, either contains a handful of papers that are more interesting when put together.
    “Causal non-Humeanism” - I am developing a new, non-humeanist theory of causation that hangs my thinking about causation, causal powers, emergence and mereology together
  1. Causation as Empowering Composition: A Non-Humeanist Project
  2. Must Effects Unconditionally Follow Causes?
  3. Causation: Horizonal, Vertical, or Neither?
  4. Absent Causes, Present Effects
  5. Causal Vagueness
    “Interactive social ontology” - I am developing a systematic view of interactive social ontology, which aims at capturing the dynamics of social reality, with special emphasis on social forces
  1. The Normativity of Disability: A Case Study of Interactive Social Ontology
  2. Biology, Ideology, and Ontology: On the Reality-making Relation in Social Metaphysics
  3. The Metaphysics of Social Forces
  4. Is the Social (Dis-)Analogous to the Natural?
  5. Collective Responsibility and Individual Reparative Duty for Historical Wrongs
Unrelatedly, I also have projects about weirdly-vibed metaphysics (to get a hint of what its vibe is like, just imagine that I am possessed by the ghost of David Lewis), and about AI (just like everybody else nowadays).
    Weirdly-vibed metaphysics and its metaphilosophy
  1. Extraordinary Persons
  2. Guide for Martian Metaphysics
  3. The Crazyist Metaphysics of the Social
  4. The Weirdness of Group Minds
    AI (& VR)
  1. Realities and Reality-making in Metaphysics
  2. Realistic Coherentism
  3. AIdentity as Artificial Identity
  4. What’s Wrong with AI Porn
  5. The Ethics of God-playing
