Dr Fiona Leigh

CURRENT RESEARCH:

Fiona is currently working on some papers that explore the relation between structure and cause in Plato’s later metaphysics, and which involve brief research visits to Yale University (courtesy of small grants from the British Academy and the British Council). She has also recently begun work on the potentially positive role of art and artworks in Platonic moral psychology.
