I have a new paper on delusion which I'm very pleased to see published today, and open access too. I argue that monothematic delusions are best understood as beliefs formed in tricky (read: Millikanian abNormal) conditions, rather than as malfunctions of belief.

New paper! Biases are among the cognitive antecedents of delusions and conspiracy theories. Does this mean that when we have delusions and conspiracy theories we should be excluded from shared epistemic projects? (Spoiler: no)
