The Aristotelian tradition
My principal area of research is early modern European philosophy, with a special focus on late scholasticism and the thought of G. W. Leibniz. I am currently finishing a translation of Francisco Suárez’s Metaphysical Disputations II-IV, to be published in two volumes by The Catholic University of America Press.
