Brian works primarily in ancient philosophy.

Regarding philosophy for the young: Ancient philosophers championed the idea that all human beings are endowed with a capacity to reason, and they believed that one of the central aims of a philosophical education is to develop this capacity. Part of what makes P4Y such a wonderful program is that it folds philosophical training into an already well-established educational framework. By making what is often thought to be an esoteric discipline accessible and engaging, students are able to discover for themselves the joy of philosophizing.
