Pascal Massie

Associate Professor of Philosophy

My areas of interest are primarily in ancient and medieval philosophy. More specifically, I work on Aristotle, Neo-Platonism and Duns Scotus on metaphysical issues such as actuality and possibility, the unity of being, time and eternity. In addition, I am interested in contemporary continental philosophy and political theory. These interests are connected by the conviction that philosophical problems and conceptual distinctions have a temporal dimension (which is not equivalent to simply embracing historical relativism), and that pre-modern thought opens up ways of thinking critically about our own contemporary condition.
