About

Dan Wolt joined the department in the fall of 2019. He works mainly in ancient Greek and Roman philosophy. Much of his work has focused on issues in Aristotle’s ethics, especially the accounts of voluntariness and practical wisdom. More recently he has been working on Platonism in late antiquity, and Plato’s political philosophy. Before coming to Bilkent, he was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of São Paulo, and before that he finished his PhD in philosophy at Princeton. His work has been published in Ancient Philosophy, Apeiron, European Journal of Philosophy, European Journal of Philosophy, Journal of the History of Philosophy, Mnemosyne, and Classical Quarterly.
