Research Interest
Epistemology, Language, Mind, Religion, Metaphysics, etc. (but mostly Epistemology)
Blake works primarily in traditional epistemology, and he has further research interests in formal and social epistemology. His recent work has focused on the relationship between knowledge and rational action, the nature of belief, the value of knowledge, and issues in epistemology that shed light on fake news, political polarization, and related phenomena. Besides epistemology, Blake is interested in the philosophy of language, the philosophy of mind, and the philosophy of religion. He is the author of Political Humility and an editor (with Ernest Sosa, Matthias Steup, and John Turri) of the 3rd edition of Contemporary Debates in Epistemology. He is also an Associate Editor for Philosophical Studies.
