Major research project
In collaboration with Dr Tony Street, an expert on Arabic logic, I organize a project
based at the Centre for Research in the Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities, University
of Cambridge: Aristotelian Logic, East and West, 500 – 1500. The project involves
annual colloquia – 5 have been funded by the British Academy, of which four (on the
Prior Analytics, Peri hermeneias, Topics and Methods and Methodologies) have taken
place so far – and research associates, who are paid (by the Arts and Humanities
Research Council) to work in collaboration with us on topics embraced by the project.
Our research associates are Dr C. Schoeck, Dr H. Lagerlund (who left in September 2006
to take up a teaching post in London, Ontario) and Dr M. Cameron. We have also had
two British Academy post-doctoral fellowship holders attached to the project: Dr K. ElRouyaheb (now an assistant professor at Harvard) and Dr C. Erismann.

Academic Committees, Editorial Bodies and Advising
- I am a member of the British Academy’s Medieval Texts committee and have been,
from its inception, a member of the sub-committee responsible for producing a catalogue
of MSS of Aristotelian commentaries in the UK.
- I am on the editorial/advisory board of the Journal of the History of Philosophy,
Documenti e studi sulla tradizione filosofica medievale and the Bochumer
Philosophisches Jahrbuch für Antike und Mittelalter.
- I edited the Routledge series Topics in Medieval Philosophy and am, with Scott
MacDonald, Chris Martin and Simo Knuuttila, an editor of the Ashgate series Studies in
Medieval Philosophy. I have just become chief editor of a new Brill series: Investigating
Medieval Philosophy, which will replace the Ashgate series.
7
- I have provided assessments of academics in medieval philosophy for senior academic
positions for Duke University, Monash University, Notre Dame University, Harvard
University, the University of Colorado, Northwestern University, the University of
Cyprus, the Finnish Academy of Sciences, the Canadian Research Council and the Swiss
National Science Foundation and the Marcel Benoist Foundation (for the prize for the
outstanding Swiss scientist/scholar of the year), and I have just been appointed to the
Scientific Advisory Board of the Finnish Centre of Excellence in Philosophical
Psychology , Morality and Politics.
Administrative Positions
I have been, since 2004, Secretary to the Fellowship Electors at Trinity College. This means that I
am in charge of the organization and running of our annual competition for 4-year post-doctoral
posts (of which we give 5 – 8 each year).
Teaching
My teaching, in accord with the Cambridge model, has consisted of (a) undergraduate
teaching - supervisions (one to one discussions with students); classes (groups of 5 -8);
lectures; (b) graduate supervising (there are not in general lecture courses for graduates).
I have done a very wide range of undergraduate teaching, including, as well as
supervisions and lectures on topics in medieval literature, supervisions on most areas in
the history of philosophy, and in contemporary ethics and aesthetics, and lectures on
philosophy of religion, ancient philosophy and a wide range of medieval philosophers
and writers, including Martianus Capella, Boethius, Anselm, Abelard, Alan of Lille,
Avicenna, Aquinas as well as more general survey courses and an introduction to
medieval logic.
Although my present post does not require me to do any teaching, I still give a
course for the Philosophy Faculty on Avicenna and Aquinas on mind, body and
intellectual knowledge. I also continue to organize the Medieval Philosophy Reading
Group (for graduates and staff), which is now being run in conjunction with the
Aristotelian Logic, East and West project. I also continue to supervise doctoral students.
I have two at present, one working on modal logic and arguments for God’s existence;
and one on the subject of metaphysics in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. Two
recent students of mine who obtained PhDs studied, respectively, Eriugena’s influence on
twelfth century philosophy, and Desert in the thought of ‘Abd al-Jabbar.
I have examined doctoral dissertations in medieval philosophy for the Universities
of Oxford, Cambridge and London; Helsinki, Tours, Lausanne/Paris: École Pratqiue des
Hautes Études and Geneva. I have also examined for the Habilitation at the Sorbonne,
Paris.
