Zenon Culverhouse is currently completing his Ph.D in philosophy at Claremont Graduate University with emphasis in ancient Greek philosophy. His dissertation, a translation and commentary of Plato's Hippias Minor, deals in particular with the implications the dialogue has for the Socratic thesis that no one errs willingly. An overall current that runs through all his philosophical interests is the extent to which contemporary philosophical perspectives inform (or misinform) how we understand the work of the ancient Greek philosophers, and so his interests also extend to contemporary philosophy, particularly to theories of practical reasoning and normativity. He also studied classics at the University of Colorado-Boulder. As a result, a favorite pastime is to point out the Greek etymological origins of English words.
