Boris Hennig is Associate Professor at the Philosophy Department of X University. He works on Ancient Greek Philosophy (Plato and Aristotle), Latin and Islamic Medieval Philosophy, Early Modern Philosophy, and contemporary Analytic Philosophy. Some of his main areas of interest are the logic of predication, self-knowledge, and metaphysics (causation, types and natural kinds, and teleology). Hennig wrote his PhD thesis on conscientia (consciousness / moral conscience) in Descartes, and his Habilitationsschrift on Aristotle’s Four Causes. As a graduate student, Hennig started taking Arabic classes, initially in order to be able to locate the word for “soul” (nafs) in Ibn Sina’s short treatise On the Soul,. He continued taking language classes for several years, at the departments for Oriental Studies in Leipzig (Germany) and in Dublin. More recently, he has started learning Farsi. Hennig is teaching ACS 220 (The Middle Ages); he has designed a course on Medieval Philosophy with a focus on Islamic thinkers (PHL 639), as well as a course dedicated to Classic Islamic Philosophy (PHL 622). He likes running and participating in reading groups.
