Malcolm Wilson is a Professor of Classics at the University of Oregon within the College of Arts and Sciences. His research spans Ancient Philosophy, History of Science, and Greek Intellectual History, with a focus on Aristotle's works, particularly Meteorologica. He has published extensively on systematic knowledge organization in antiquity and is currently exploring microcosm-macrocosm concepts in Aristotle's physical treatises.
- Education: Hon. B.A. (1985, University of Western Ontario), M.A. (1986, University of Toronto), Ph.D. (1993, University of California at Berkeley).
His research integrates Classical scholarship with natural philosophy, examining Aristotle's theories on spontaneous generation, meteorology, and analogical reasoning. His publications highlight interdisciplinary connections between living and non-living systems, cosmological frameworks, and textual analysis of ancient treatises.
Notably, he has worked on spontaneous generation, arguing for a dual-phase heat process, and analyzed unity in Meteorologica across hydrological, atmospheric, and mineralogical subfields. He also engages with Roman philosophical traditions through Hellenistic influences.
