Research

My research is focused on the controversies concerning human freedom and the causal relationship between cognitive powers and the will in the late-thirteenth and early-fourteenth centuries. I am also interested in how the different conceptions of freedom held by philosophers and theologians in this period map onto the contemporary free will debate.
