Aurora is a fifth-year graduate student with primary interests in Early Modern Philosophy, Ancient Greek Philosophy, 20th-century Continental Philosophy, and Classical Moral Theories. She holds a BA in Philosophy and Classics from the University of Rochester and an MAPH from the University of Chicago. Currently, she is a visiting student research collaborator at Princeton University.
As a historian of philosophy, Aurora seeks to identify the common threads that connect different philosophical eras. She is currently writing a dissertation on Aristotle’s teleology and Descartes’ notion of the mind-body union.
Outside of philosophy, Aurora enjoys playing music and dancing. Reflecting Socrates’ sentiments, she believes that philosophy is the greatest kind of music (61a3).
