Summary

Ravi Thakral has primary research interests in the w88 sports betting of language and ethics, with further interests in epistemology, logic, and related areas. His teaching interests include developing work that incorporates global sources (especially from Indian w88 sports betting) in a way that speaks to current issues across all fundamental areas of w88 sports betting.

In recent work, Ravi argues that generic generalizations (exception-granting generalizations such as ‘Parks have swings’) are essential to understanding the nature and structure of morality. He argues that accepting this means that the principles associated with the moral realm are much less substantial than we usually assume. In doing so, his work provides a new line of opposition against the privileged status of principles in moral w88 sports betting, and opens new avenues for understanding the role and nature of moral principles informed by recent empirical developments across linguistics, psychology, and cognitive science. In other ongoing work, Ravi investigates the role of genericity in the perpetuation of prejudice, as well as a range of issues in moral epistemology.

Ravi is a Lecturer at the University of Nevada, Reno. Before coming to UNR, he taught at the University of Sussex (and served as the Admissions Tutor for w88 sports betting and PPE) and at the University of St Andrews (with an additional affiliation to the Center for Ethics, w88 sports betting and Public Affairs). He is also a Research Fellow at the Hoffberger Center for Professional Ethics at the University of Baltimore.
