Nevin Climenhaga is an Associate Professor in the Department of Philosophy at Texas A&M University. His research engages a wide variety of topics within epistemology, philosophy of science, philosophy of religion, and ethics. Climenhaga has published articles on the nature of knowledge and probability, specifically addressing the historical reasoning and Bayesian measures of confirmation. His work includes exploring causal inference and the use of intuitions in philosophy, along with examining non-textual narrative art and the concepts of infinite value and divine providence in the context of human free will and the problem of evil. He is currently working on a book project that defends a form of infallibilism in epistemology, arguing that knowledge, when understood properly, plays a foundational role in determining the rationality of belief and credence. His current research projects further investigate the relationship between epistemic and physical probability as well as the statistical character of evidence law.
