Biography

Devin Henry is a professor in the Department of Philosophy at Western University. His primary research focuses on ancient philosophy, with particular interests in Aristotle's philosophy of science, especially natural science, and Plato's moral philosophy concerning the role of pleasure in the good life. Currently, he is working on a book that explores Aristotle’s theory of substantial generation. Henry has also written about Plato’s method in a collection divided by themes and Aristotle’s account of natural kinds, engaging in general issues concerning realism and classification. He supervises graduate students, particularly in areas related to Plato and Aristotle. Henry's recent publications include a book titled 'Aristotle on Matter, Form, and Moving Causes: The Hylomorphic Theory of Substantial Generation' published by Cambridge University Press in November 2019, and an article titled 'The Failure of Evolution in Antiquity' in the forthcoming 'Blackwell Companion to Ancient Science, Medicine, and Technology.'
