Claudia Yau specializes in ancient Greek philosophy, focusing primarily on ancient ethics, politics, and epistemology. Her current research project explores the concept of wisdom in the works of Plato and Aristotle, suggesting that wisdom is a combination of virtues that distinguishes individuals from mere intellectual abilities and compels them into a role where wisdom informs ethical and political conduct. Additionally, she is engaged in examining Aristotle’s theories of justice and the methods of argumentation found in Sextus Empiricus.
