Chad Wiener is currently working on turning his dissertation into a book tentatively called Understanding Ousia: Logic, Being, and Nature in Aristotle's Biology. His research interest extends to all aspects of Ancient Philosophy but also Ethics, Political Philosophy, and Historical Theory. He enjoys teaching all aspects of philosophy but especially those that overlap with his research interests. Last but not least, he embraces the carefree, coffee-drinking, organic-eating, public-transportation-using lifestyle of Portland, Ore.
