My research is in ancient Greek philosophy (especially Plato) and my interests in this field are extremely broad encompassing topics in ethics, aesthetics, epistemology and metaphysics.
Topics which I鈥檓 interested in include: 鈥楤ecoming like God鈥�; happiness; beauty; desire; music; harmony; knowledge; perception; true belief; falsehood; being and appearance.
I鈥檓 also interested in the history of Western philosophy, particularly in Neoplatonism (especially Plotinus) and Early Modern Philosophy.
