His research centers on core issues in Ancient Philosophy, especially Aristotle’s philosophy of natural science and Plato’s moral philosophy concerning pleasure and the good life. He investigates topics such as substantial generation, natural kinds, classification, and realism within ancient frameworks. His methodological interests include the use of collection and division in Plato and the metaphysical foundations of biology in Aristotle.
The recent publications reflect a strong trend in the history of biological thought in antiquity, particularly Aristotle’s causal and hylomorphic models of generation. The works emphasize philosophical underpinnings of ancient scientific reasoning and critique the applicability of modern evolutionary concepts to ancient theories.
Devin Henry supervises graduate dissertations in Plato and Aristotle and is actively engaged in scholarly publication and research. He contributes to the academic mission of the philosophy department and the broader Rotman Institute’s interdisciplinary exploration of scientific thought.
