ABOUT
I am Associate Professor at the Department of Philosophy of Providence College and currently Visiting Professor of Philosophy at the Universität Basel. I was born in Colorado, grew up in rural Maine, and attended Colgate University to study philosophy, German, and astronomy. Having received a B.A. there, I went off to Germany seeking adventure, and ended up – after studies in Freiburg, Bonn, Lille, and Berlin – with a PhD from the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin in ancient philosophy.
My research is on ancient philosophy, in particular Aristotle, on the history and philosophy of logic and argumentation, and the history and philosophy of science. I am currently completing a monograph on Aristotle’s theory of dialectical argumentation, in particular it’s normative logical and linguistic aspects. I am also interested in the history of analytic philosophy and its connection to Aristotle, and am currently working on several projects related to this topic, including a lecture series [include link to Teaching/Teaching resources/Logic and ontology in ancient philosophy] on Logic and Ontology in Ancient and Early Analytic Philosophy, and the article on Franz Brentano in the forthcoming Ueberweg Grundriss der Geschichte der Philosophie: Deutschland 19. Jahrhundert.
