Ronald Weed
Biographical Sketch
I am originally from Boston where I did my undergraduate degrees at Boston College in philosophy and political science, followed by master's degrees at the University of Toronto and doctorate from Saint Louis University. I also spent a term as a visiting undergraduate at London School of Economics and then later as a visiting graduate student at the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt.
Some of my hobbies and interests are film, baseball, literature, jazz, cycling and art history.
Research Interests
My major research interests are in ancient Greek philosophy (especially Aristotle), as well as some early modern and contemporary philosophy, with a topical focus in ethics and social-political philosophy.
I have taught courses in most periods of the history of philosophy, including more advanced seminars in ancient philosophy. I also teach ethics (theoretical and applied), critical thinking, classical Greek language and contemporary political theory.
