I study the historical and philosophical foundations of physics, with an emphasis on quantum theory and its rehabilitation of ancient Hellenic ideas about the relationship between mathematics and nature. More generally, I explore the philosophical implications underlying recent innovations in quantum mechanics, cosmology, and complexity theory, with an approach grounded in the study of the historical evolution of the conceptual frameworks central to these disciplines.
