Research Interest
Early Modern Philosophy
My principal area of research is early modern European philosophy, with a special focus on the thought of G. W. Leibniz. I am also interested in the Aristotelian tradition. I am currently at work on a couple of translations. The first is of Hervaeus Natalis’ Treatise on Second Intentions. The second translation is of the first of Francisco Suárez’s Metaphysical Disputations.
