• The dual nature of artefacts, extended (first draft). (PDF here)
• Epistemic artefacts and human intelligence. Abstract :: Kim Sterelny opposes the view that epistemic artefacts explain how agents with dumb brains can nonetheless be smart. In evolutionary history, he argues, only smart brains could reap the benefits of epistemic technologies, for these require sophisticated learning mechanisms as well as mechanisms to detect and counter the epistemic pollution of others. I argue, however, that the real cognitive innovation was not epistemic tool use, but tool use simpliciter ; once that innovation was in place, brains could afford to remain as dumb (or smart) as they were.

• Information and the state of nature. I try to improve Edward Craig's functional role analysis of the concept of knowledge (in E. Craig, "Knowledge and the state of nature", 1990, OUP) by adding a set of parameters drawn from information theory. (more soon)
• Untitled #1 (with Wybo Houkes). The paper will concern models used in evolutionary archaeology and evolutionary economics. We will assess their explanatory value with regard to technological innovation and differentiation. (more soon)
• Untitled #2 (with Martin Peterson). Martin and I are conducting a philosophical experiment to test intuitions regarding knowing and knowldedge.
• Untitled #3 (with Marieke van Holland, or rather the reverse). Marieke (and I) are examining how etiological function theories fare with regard to hybrid functions (i.e. functions performed by systems comprising both biological and artefactual components). (more soon)
