Research Projects
Current research projects are organised around three main areas of focus: John Locke’s Christology and his role in seventeenth-century Trinitarian debates, alongside a transcription project of MS Locke e.17; Philo of Alexandria’s conception of Right Reason and influence on the revival of natural law theory and Neo-Platonism in the seventeenth century, including women philosophers such as Damaris Masham and Anne Conway.
