Research interests

Santiago Chame's research interests focus on the ontology of the classical period, particularly Aristotle’s Metaphysics. He is also interested in the Socratic schools and their connection with Plato and Aristotle, and more broadly, in the contemporary reception of ancient Greek thought. He is currently engaged in two main book-length projects: a study of the ontology of the Megarian circle, and a comprehensive interpretation of book Θ of Aristotle's Metaphysics.
