Christopher Izgin

I'm a Juan de la Cierva fellow at the Faculty of Philosophy of the University of Barcelona, hosted by David Ebrey. Before that, I spent two years as a visiting postdoctoral researcher at the University of Oxford, funded by the Walter Benjamin Program of the German Research Foundation (DFG). My advisor was Luca Castagnoli (Oriel College). I specialize in Aristotle's theoretical philosophy, its late ancient reception, and Pyrrhonian skepticism. Besides, I'm interested in ancient conceptions of philosophy, specifically in the relationship between philosophy as science and philosophy as a way of life. Apart from these topics, I have a lively interest in ancient Buddhist philosophy.
