Kevan Edwards primarily works in philosophy of mind, philosophy of language and cognitive science. He is especially interested in a framework that combines a use-theoretic conception of natural language with a compositional and referentialist-cum-representational account of mental content. He has side-interests in related areas of metaphysics and epistemology.
Kevan recently moved from University of Kansas, where he spent two years. Prior to this, he did his graduate work at Rutgers, under the supervision of Jerry Fodor.
