My area of specialization is Ancient Greek and Latin Philosophy, with a focus on Plato and Aristotle. My systematic interests include ethics, theory of action, and theory of argumentation.

I love teaching timeless classics such as Plato's Republic, Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics, or Cicero's De Finibus. I also enjoy exploring single topics in depth historically and systematically, as in my seminar series on ancient and contemporary perspectives on weakness of will (akrasia).
