Feels awkward, but I'll make an #introduction post anyway, maybe I can find some folks to follow -

I'm a philosopher living in Jerusalem, and I also try to spend some of my time in activism, mainly but not exclusively anti-occupation/anti-apartheid activism.

My philosophy work is mainly in metaethics and philosophy of perception. I'm working on a co-written book on moral perception at the moment.

I also am trying to dabble a bit in making anarchism respectable in analytic political philosophy. I'm not an anarchist, but some of my best friends...etc.

Follow me for posts begging for help with philosophy, as well as Israel/Palestine stuff and some random leftist stuff. ok bye!

Looking forward to giving a talk at the University of #Tübingen's #Philosophy of #Neuroscience Seminar together with Roberta Locatelli this afternoon about some new work we’re doing on the nature of #hallucinations. #PONS #PhilosophyTalk #PhilosophyOfPerception #NaiveRealism #hallucination

Very happy to have contributed a chapter to this fine collection on the #philosophyOfSmell. In it, I focus on the implications of the #temporalStructure of #olfactoryExperience for the #metaphysics and #philosophy of #olfaction, and #perceptualExperience more generally.

In particular, I argue that some (though not all) objects of olfactory experience are temporally extended. This includes both objective properties of the external environment, e.g. concentration gradients, and interactions between odorants and our sensory apparatus at the receptor level.

This makes olfactory experience observer- or perspective-dependent without rendering it subjective or mind-dependent in any philosophically substantive sense. It also opens up the possibility of an event-based metaphysics of olfactory experience.

Along with the rest of the volume, the chapter can be accessed online here: https://doi.org/10.4324/9781003207801. Many thanks to the editors,
Benjamin D. Young and Andreas Keller, and other contributors for useful comments and feedback. I look forward to reading the other chapters!
