Abraham Roth

Dr. Abraham Roth is a Professor in the Department of Philosophy at Ohio State University's College of Arts and Sciences. He holds a Ph.D. from Princeton University and specializes in philosophy of action, collective intentionality, and epistemology of testimony.

His research examines shared agency, promissory obligations, and practical rationality. He develops frameworks for understanding joint action, contralateral commitments, and the normative structures of collective activities. His work on David Hume addresses causal inference, personal identity, and psychological necessity.

Recent publications analyze entitlement to reasons for action, the relationship between intention and obligation in promises, and predictive authority in shared activities. His Humean scholarship challenges traditional interpretations of personal identity and causal reasoning.
