Brett Sherman is an Associate Professor in the Department of Philosophy at the University of South Carolina within the McCausland College of Arts and Sciences. He has previously taught at the University of Rochester and Brandeis University, with a focus on philosophy of language and epistemology.
- Education: Ph.D. from Princeton University (2008), A.B. from Harvard University (2000)
His research explores the intersections of modality, contextual meaning, and knowledge-trust relationships. Key contributions include:
- Context Constructivism – arguing that conversational participants construct the context for indexical content
- Epistemic Necessity – analyzing open questions and their connection to settled knowledge
- Trust-Based Epistemology – positing knowledge as dependent on epistemic trust
Notable publications span epistemic modals, contextual semantics, and metaphysical foundations of meaning, with collaborative works like Metasemantics (2014) and Being of Two Minds (2021). His current project Openness and Possibility further develops modal logic as candidate answers to open questions.
