"Professor Peter Osorio, Harvard’s newest assistant professor of classics, is an expert in the history of Greek and Roman philosophy and the way their ideas were created, developed, and communicated over time. He is especially interested in ethics and social epistemology (how knowledge is constructed beyond the individual level). Professor Osorio is currently working on a series of papers for his second book, which will be about the philosophical functions of the “epistle” (or “letter”) for Ancient Greek and Roman philosophers like Epicurus, Seneca, and Iamblichus. Beyond his own research, Professor Osorio looks forward to building programming and/or mentoring students who are interested in ancient philosophy." - Ori Shi, OCW
