Research Interests
Increasingly, all my work is in ancient philosophy and more specifically on Plato. For the most part the work lies at the intersection of ancient philosophy and aesthetics. One main work in progress is a book about Plato's Menexenus; but I am also writing entries on Plato's Republic and the Menexenus for the forthcoming Continuum Companion to Plato; and I am writing an article about Hitchcock's Vertigo for a coming collection of philosophical papers on that film.
