Ancient/Medieval Western Philosophy

• Protrepticus
• Eudemus
• Aristotelianism
• Aristotle

My main area of research is ancient Greek philosophy. I am interested in ancient theories of logic and metaphysics. I specialize in Aristotle and medieval Aristotelian tradition of Thomas Aquinas, William of Ockham, and pursue research also in Platonism. I also have research interests in relations of ancient and medieval philosophy, in particular, in Greek philosophy in the Arabic sources.
