He also coordinates the History & Philosophy of Science concentration. With a PhD in History and Philosophy of Science from the University of Notre Dame (2004) and a B.A. in theology and philosophy from Christendom College (1997), Dr. Mirus specializes in metaphysics, ancient philosophy (particularly Aristotle), and the metaphysical legacy of Thomas Aquinas. His research emphasizes relationality, particularity, and narrative in understanding existence, integrating Christian and pagan philosophical traditions. He teaches a wide range of courses, from introductory philosophy to advanced seminars on Aristotle and metaphysics.
Dr. Mirus’s work rethinks Thomistic metaphysics through a lens that prioritizes concrete human experience and relational ontology. His publications include a 2022 monograph on Aristotle’s metaphysics of goodness and beauty, as well as articles exploring Aristotle’s categories, teleology, and the interplay between science and philosophy. His academic career includes prior teaching positions at Notre Dame, Hunter College, and the University at Albany.
His advising and grants focus on fostering interdisciplinary dialogue between philosophy and the sciences, though specific grant details are not provided. His scholarly contributions bridge ancient and medieval thought, particularly through the lens of Aristotle and St. Thomas Aquinas, aiming to reinvigorate metaphysical discourse with contemporary relevance.
