Thomas Bullemore

Thomas Bullemore is a DPhil candidate and Roche Scholar at New College, supervised by Professors David Enoch and Timothy Williamson. Having completed his LLB, he lectured in legal philosophy at the University of Chile. He also practiced and argued cases before Chilean courts, and read for an MPhil in Law here in Oxford. Currently, Thomas works as a research assistant to Professor Ruth Chang, contributing to projects on rationality, hard choices, and the role of values in AI.

His doctoral research, in metaethics, explores questions about what is constitutive of the normative domain, and how our epistemic access and our ways of representing it in thought and language are responsible to that constitution. In particular, he examines the modal status of practical normativity through intensional and hyperintensional frameworks, the referential stability of normative predicates, and the grounds for ascribing intentional states to collective agents.
