I'm a PhD student in Philosophy at UC Berkeley. My interests are mainly in moral theory.
I also have secondary interests in philosophy of language and normative decision theory.
Before coming to Berkeley, I studied in Pavia (BA), London, and Cambridge (MPhil).
This paper develops a new theory of the morality of promissory obligations. T. M. Scanlon notoriously argued that promising consists in assuring the promisee that we will do something. I disagree. I argue that it is true that promising consists in assuring the promisee, but what the promisor gives to the promisee is not an assurance that they will do something, but that the normative situation is in a certain way.
