Research areas

My research focuses on Aristotle’s theory of the intellect: how do we acquire knowledge and how does the intellect operate? Aristotle’s metaphysics and psychology come together, rendering a fascinating picture of his views on intellectual development and activity. In addition, I work on Early Modern philosophy, in particular on Spinoza’s notions of eternity and Scientia Intuitiva and on the Dutch Radical Enlightenment philosopher Adriaan Koerbagh.
