I work mostly on 17th-century philosophy, especially 17th-century metaphysics. Currently, I'm particularly interested in a bunch of issues surrounding individuation, parts and wholes, and material objects. I am the editor of the Routledge Companion to 17th-Century Philosophy, which will hopefully be in print in 2009. (See below for Table of Contents)
