Matheus Monteiro: Monteiro, a graduate student in Philosophy at University of Campinas, Brazil, recently came to Princeton for undertaking a short period research on Modern Philosophy and its Ancient and Medieval roots. He is working with Professor Daniel Garber on aspects of the relations between the philosophies of John Philoponus of Alexandria and René Descartes. In 2014, Monteiro defended a dissertation on the problem of The Reality of the Possibles according to Thomas Aquinas. Recently, he published papers about metaphorical possibilities in Aristotle and Aquinas, and about the notion of prime matter as it is defined by Philoponus. Monteiro's academic interests are ancient and medieval cosmologies and metaphysics, the different criticisms received by Aristotle's scientific system along history, and the factors which interfered in the so called Modern Scientific Revolution.
