Biography
I teach modules on programmes in the School of Theology and the Arts, and I am currently overseeing the development of programmes in Philosophy. I also supervise a number of postgraduate research students.
I hold a BA degree in Philosophy and the Catholic Tradition from the Open University and MA and PhD degrees from the University of Buckingham. As a philosopher in the Western intellectual and spiritual tradition, I focus on classical realism, mysticism and esotericism, political traditionalism, philosophy of science, and ecological ethics. I have authored numerous books and my writing has featured in journals, both academic and popular.
