AoS: Medieval Philosophy

AoC: Ancient Philosophy, Early Modern Philosophy, Metaphysics, Philosophy of Religion

 

My interests include epistemological and metaphysical topics in the medieval period, especially the thought of John Duns Scotus. Current research interests include: Duns Scotus’s doctrine of the univocity of the concept of being (the topic of my dissertation); medieval theories of individuation; medieval theories of matter and prime matter; and the relationship between the soul and its powers.
