After receiving her PhD degree at University of Helsinki (2002), Miira Tuominen (Associate Professor of Theoretical Philosophy, Department of Philosophy, Stockholm University) has worked at several universities and research institutes specialising on ancient and late ancient philosophy. Her early work focuses on questions about knowledge and argumentation from Plato to the late ancient commentators on Aristotle (Apprehension and Argument 2007) and she has also written a general introduction to the late ancient commentators on Aristotle (Commentators on Plato and Aristotle 2009). She has continued working on the commentators, especially on the philosophical psychology of Alexander of Aphrodisias (‘Receptive Reason’ 2010) and Philoponus and Pseudo-Simplicius (’Hylomorphism in the Commentators?’ 2023). More recently, she has concentrated on questions about the nature and moral status of non-human animals in ancient philosophy, and her main publications in this area include the monograph Living with Justice: A Philosophical Study of Porphyry’s On Abstinence (2025) as well as the articles ‘Porphyry’s Account of Justice in On Abstinence’ (2024) and ‘Aristotle on Animal Intelligence: A Difference in Degree or by Analogy?’ that will come out in a volume co-edited with Peter Adamson titled Animals in Greek, Arabic, and Latin Philosophy (forthcoming in 2025).
