Hill
James Hill The principal areas of my work in philosophy are scepticism and consciousness. I am interested in the reception and development of ancient scepticism in the early-modern period, and in the influence of scepticism on our understanding of science, religion and metaphysics. I am also working on consciousness in contemporary analytical philosophy and am interested in the development of our conception of consciousness from Descartes to the present.
