I work mostly on the history of ethics. Currently, I am working on a long-term project on Stoic ethics, examining its influence on Kant and contemporary ethical thought. My previous work on Kant takes up various areas of his thought: his ethics and moral psychology; his contributions to the logical humanist tradition; his aesthetics and theory of the sublime; his philosophical methodology; and his conception of the essentially reflective nature of the rational mind.
