Susan Brower-Toland is a Professor of Philosophy in the Department of Philosophy at Saint Louis University, within the College of Arts and Sciences. She specializes in medieval philosophy, particularly focusing on William Ockham, metaphysics, and the philosophy of mind. Her research explores later-medieval discussions of consciousness, self-knowledge, and Ockham's metaphysical commitments. She holds a Ph.D. from Cornell University (2002), an M.A. in History from the University of Iowa, and a B.A. in English Literature & Latin from the University of Arizona.
Her research interests include medieval theories of propositions, consciousness, and the intersection of theology and philosophy. Recent work addresses Ockham's views on memory and metaphysical commitments, as well as debates around ontological commitment and theological dogma. She has contributed to Oxford Studies in Medieval Philosophy, the Routledge Handbook of Propositions, and other prominent venues.
Brower-Toland's publications span discussions of Augustine, Aquinas, and medieval debates on intentionality, causation, and divine knowledge. Her work often bridges historical analysis with contemporary philosophical questions, particularly in metaphysics and the philosophy of mind.
