Overview


Ph.D Candidate

My dissertation concerns Piero della Francesca and the intellectual milieux of his time, with a focus on the philosophy of form. My inquiry traverses scholastic natural philosophy, optics, humanism, and the philosophy of Cusanus.

In general, I am interested in the Mediterranean and European philosophical tradition from the presocratics to the Quattrocento. Questions of art and aesthetics are my principal motivation in my explorations, though metaphysics and philosophy of language are also highly relevant to me.

I am have a passion for every aspect of Italian civilization, and I am a practicing oil painter. 

Medieval Chinese Christianity has long been a peripheral interest of mine as well.
