Aristotle’s scientific inquiries into nature are just as much philosophical inquiries into scientific activity. A guiding motivation of my research is to extract the philosophical innovations that come out of his investigations. I am currently advancing this research primarily by way of a comprehensive project on Aristotle’s treatment of his predecessors and the role the tradition plays in shaping and measuring progress.
