My primary areas of research are contemporary action theory, the metaphysics of the human person and its impact on applied ethics, with secondary interests in the Aristotelian-Scholastic philosophical tradition (especially questions concerning free will and the human soul).
Particularly questions like the following twist my mind:
- Are free actions uncaused?
- Are our reasons for the action the causes of the action?
- Is it possible to reduce reasons for an action to physiological processes?
- Are human persons mere organisms?
- Are we mental substances contingently having a body?
- What is the traditional Aristotelian-Scholastic concept of the human soul about?
- Are there criteria for clearly determining the beginning and the end of the human person?
