ABOUT
I am Associate Professor at the Department of Philosophy of Providence College and currently Visiting Professor of Philosophy at the Universität Heidelberg. I was born in Colorado, grew up in rural Maine, and attended Colgate University, where I studied philosophy, German, and astronomy. After my B.A. I went off to Germany seeking adventure, and ended up – after studies of Classics and philosophy in Freiburg, Bonn, Lille, and Berlin – with a PhD from the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin in 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.
