Research overview
I work on ancient Greek and Roman philosophy. I have written two monographs, one about conversation and thought – especially thought as internal dialogue – in Plato, the other about death and immortality in Greek and Roman philosophy. I co-edit the journal Phronesis and the Cambridge University Press series Key Themes in Ancient Philosophy I have also translated two Platonic dialogues (with David Sedley) and edited a collection of papers on Plato and Stoicism.
