Nancy's
general philosophical interests have never once wavered from
metaphysics and epistemology. Her interests have, however,
moved away from her very first philosophical concerns, which
involved philosophy of religion, and have progressed more-or-less
steadily along a direct path to the truth, which obviously
ends abruptly, yet squarely, in the domain of the epistemology
of logic. In addition to areas of specialization in the philosophy
and epistemology of logic and belief-revision, Nancy's areas
of competence include philosophy of language, and especially
philosophy of mathematics. Nancy is also very interested in
feminism and philosophy of race, and, occasionally, just for
fun, still likes to think about a few nagging problems in
philosophy of religion (insofar as they relate to epistemology),
like the problem of religious pluralism and the problem of
divine hiddenness. Her M.A. thesis is entitled "Apriority
is a Good Thing: Field on the Evaluative Aspect of Apriority."
The tentative title of her dissertation is "A Priori
Knowledge and the Revisability of Logic." Currently,
Nancy is very worried about what, if anything, we can know
a priori. Right now she thinks there are at least two things,
thank goodness.
