| Description: | Professor Adamson's main areas of interest are ancient Greek philosophy (especially Neoplatonism) and medieval philosophy (especially Arabic philosophy).

This research includes a book, "The Arabic Plotinus: a Philosophical Study of the "Theology of Aristotle" (London: Duckworth, 2002) and a volume entitled "Great Medieval Thinkers: al-Kindi" (New York: Oxford University Press, 2007).
