Broadly construed, Jeremy is interested in how the psychological basis of behavior relates to issues in action and agency theory. More specifically, he does work in the philosophy of psychology and psychiatry on natural kinds, psychological explanation, and the nature of mental illness. He also works in the philosophy of action and agency on issues in responsibility, self-control and autonomy, especially as they relate to mental illness, but also on theories of these concepts more generally. Additionally, Jeremy has interests in philosophy of mind in mental causation, the metaphysics of mental states, and reductive accounts of the mental. He occasionally dabbles in social ontology, causal theories of meaning, and general issues in the philosophy of science, as well as American Pragmatism and the history of analytic philosophy.
