In “Command and Consequence”, I gave a two-dimensional semantics for a language containing an imperativising operator !, in which ! was a Stalnaker dagger-like operator. I suggested (and in this paper will prove) that the resulting logic is the normal modal logic KDDc4.
Until September 2016 I am a Tutorial Fellow in Philosophy at Corpus Christi College and an Associate Professor in the Oxford Philosophy Faculty. From then on, I'll be a Senior Adviser at the New Zealand Ministry of Transport.
My intellectual interests are mainly in metaphysics, philosophy of language, and ethics, and of course transport policy.
