Research Interests
I have worked and published on a wide range of topics in ancient philosophy, notably on ethics, metaphysics, epistemology, philosophy of mind and cosmology. While still pursuing several aspects of ancient philosophy, my current research project focuses on the literary forms of Roman philosophy and the way in which they influence reading philosophical texts and their consequent possible interpretations.
