Bio/Research

Dr. Eardley's area of specialization is later medieval philosophy, especially of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. Specifically, his research focuses on the metaphysics, ethics and moral psychology of figures such as Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274), Giles of Rome (1243/47-1316), Henry of Ghent (d.1293) and John Duns Scotus (1265-1308). Although much of Eardley's work has thus far focused on issues of moral weakness, medieval conceptions of happiness and the freedom of the will, he has recently become interested in the development of conscience and natural law in the fourteenth century.
