10The Cambridge Companion to Galileo (edited book)Cambridge University Press. 1998.Not only a hero of the scientific revolution, but after his conflict with the church, a hero of science, Galileo is today rivalled in the popular imagination only by Newton and Einstein. But what did Galileo actually do, and what are the sources of the popular image we have of him? This 1998 collection of specially-commissioned essays is unparalleled in the depth of its coverage of all facets of Galileo's work. A particular feature of the volume is the treatment of Galileo's relationship with th…Read more

9Neoplatonism and Nature: Studies in Plotinus’ “Enneads.” (review)Review of Metaphysics 56 (4): 907-907. 2003.Little attention has been directed to Plotinus’s philosophy of nature in contemporary scholarship, and we applaud in principle this attempt to investigate Plotinus’s understanding of the natural world and the ramifications this has for other areas of his thought.

5Review: Kitcher and the Achievement of Science (review)Philosophy and Phenomenological Research 55 (3). 1995.Perhaps, the best way to approach a book with as broad a scope and as great an ambition as Philip Kitcher’s The Advancement of Science is to think about its main goal.
