Research & Professional Achievements
My research focuses on the intersection of Ancient Greek Philosophy, Modern Practical Ethics, and Law, with a particular interest in the enduring dialogue between classical virtue ethics, the role of paideia (character formation), and contemporary legal-ethical frameworks of justice. Engaging in ongoing international discourse, I examine the internal history of ancient philosophy and the modern reception of classical thinkers.
