Current and Past Research

Research Interests

My research interest focuses on the ethics of Thomas Aquinas. More generally, I am interested in ethics, epistemology, and metaphysics in the 13th/14th century philosophy.

Currently my work centers onpractical rationality in Thomas. In particular, my research concentrates on the notion of weakness of will, free decision, knowledge by connaturality, and prudence.

A further research interest regards 13th century commentaries on the Nicomachean Ethics.
