Paper:
Objectivity, Rule Following, and Joint Commitment 
Co-authored with Bennett Helm
In this paper, we intend to give criticism of John Haugeland's account of truth and objectivity, developing it in turn by appeal to the idea of a joint constitutive commitment made intelligible by interpersonal patterns of emotions, and finally drawing out some implications for psychology and cognitive science.
