Hmm. Interesting. It's one of my favorites lol. Why don't you like it?
Epistemology is probably my least favorite area... as it seems to be that science pretty much has a handle on emprical epistemolgy and when it comes to absolute knowledge all there really is is deduction from tautological premises. There's all these debates over different theories of knowledge but I think knowledge is what the most progress has already been made on. And when it comes to theories of truth the correspondence theory clearly makes the most sense to me. Ethics and metaphysics are the most interesting to me.... Specifically: Consciousness, Free Will, population ethics and identity. And I think identity is very relevant to population ethics. As are theories of time. It's my views on identity and time and the inability to aggregate consciousness between individuals, as well as my views on free will, that all impact my ethics greatly. It all connects up for me with one field saying something relevant about the other. I think that different theories of identity are relevant to time which is relevant to conscious experience and ethics.
