I have interests in most areas of philosophy and religion, but special regard goes to Indian Buddhism (especially Nagarjuna and Vasubandhu), Advaita Vedānta (especially Gaudapada and Sankara), Classical Sanskrit, Pāli. I retain interests in religious and mystical thinkers of all stripes: my interest in religion and philosophy is mainly in their potential as guides for living well.
I am also interested in classical Chinese philosophy (especially Zhuangzi), and in Tolstoy's conception of 'religion' and his expression of ultimate truths. I suppose that you might say that I really work at the intersections of ethics, metaphysics, and religion.
