Research
My area of specialization is the history of modern philosophy. So far I have written only on the philosophy of Leibniz, but I am also interested in other periods and philosophers. Plato and Kant are high on my list, as are the Stoics. As for topics, I'm especially fond of metaphysics and epistemology, though I also enjoy thinking about issues in the philosophy of mind, philosophy of science, ethics, and many other areas. At present I am writing two papers on Leibniz's philosophy of physics, and two on his theory of color.
