Some of the topics of his current focus:
-
the ancient Greek concept of education (paideia) and its modern (Enlightenment) evolution;
-
a comparative analysis of Athenian and American democracy;
-
an analysis of the Socratic-Aristotelian concept of akrasia (weakness of will), the political and moral philosophical implications of collective akrasia; the problem of political irrationality inherent in democracies: discursive dilemma
