Research areas

I am specialist in ancient Greek philosophy. My research centres on ancient Greek theories of the soul, metaphysics, and ethics. I am particularly interested in how ancient philosophical theories interact with contemporary debates in metaphysics. I also have teaching and research interests in Islamic philosophy, philosophy of religion, and continental philosophy.
