Verity Harte

Verity Harte is George A. Saden Professor of Philosophy and Classics at Yale. Her research focus is the philosophical thought and writings of Plato, especially, and of Aristotle, with more general interests in the history of philosophy throughout the period of Greco-Roman Antiquity. The philosophical topics that she has written on most frequently fall under the general headings of metaphysics, epistemology and moral and philosophical psychology. She is often interested in points of contrast and of comparison between ancient and contemporary approaches to topics in these areas. Her main research project at present concerns Plato's Philebus, on which she is (very slowly) writing a monograph for the Cambridge University Press series Studies in the Dialogues of Plato (series editor: Mary Margaret McCabe).
