I work on what I call Philosophy in the Long Middle Ages - philosophy in the broad Western tradition, including texts written in Greek, Latin, Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, Syriac and the European vernaculars, from c. 200 to c. 1700 (which is not to claim, alas, that I can read all these languages!). Within this area I have special interests in Latin philosophy from c.500 - c.1200 and in the period c. 1500; the complex of questions treated in my Pagans and Philosophers.

Within this area I have special interests in Latin philosophy from c.500 - c.1200 and in the period c. 1500; the complex of questions treated in my Pagans and Philosophers. The problem of paganism from Augustine to Leibniz, Princeton University Press, 2015, which, strangely, isn't listed here - including medieval anthropology and ethnography and relativism and pluralism in the Middle Ages; the popularization of philosophy in the Middle Ages (especially from 12th - 15th centuries). I also write more generally about methodology in the history of philosophy and what I call the 'social history of logic'. The listing of my work here isn't complete. If you look at my work on academia.edu you will find a CV with list of publications, and many of my recent publications available for download.
