I'm interested in ancient Greek and Roman philosophy, as well as Indian philosophy. Mostly, I think about ethics, epistemology, and moral psychology. I've worked on pleasure, happiness, and the highest good and the role of contemplation in Plato and Aristotle. I'm thinking about the role of theoretical knowledge in becoming morally good, as well as the relevance of desire for acquiring the highest theoretical insight. This interest benefits from engagement with Buddhist philosophers. For more information:
