Jamin Asay

 
 

I am a recent graduate from the Department of Philosophy at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where I am currently teaching as a Visiting Lecturer.

 

My philosophical interests center around metaphysics, philosophy of language, and philosophy of science. My other main interests include epistemology, metaethics, philosophy of logic, and the history of modern philosophy.


At present I am working on a book project that defends a primitivist conception of truth. My dissertation developed a new approach to truthmaking that can be applied to the debates over the nature of truth and the nature of realism. I have also published on the topics of deflationary truth, moral realism, scientific realism, and theories of ontological commitment.
