Ram Neta specializes in epistemology and is currently at work on a book on the nature of knowledge.  He is also trying to understand how evidence governs rational confidence, how rational confidence constrains rational belief, how knowledge guides inquiry, what sort of epistemic accessibility our reasons for belief must have, and why some skeptical arguments are so much more plausible than others.  He regularly teaches seminars on these and other topics in epistemology, occasionally teaches seminars in the philosophy of mind or on the history of analytic philosophy, and also regularly teaches an introductory course in philosophy with about 200 students.  His publications include:
