He holds a PhD in Philosophy from the University of Navarra and is a professor and researcher at the University of Montevideo (UM) and a Level I researcher in Uruguay’s National Research System (SNI, ANII-Uruguay). A specialist in medieval philosophy and in the reception of classical Arabic philosophy, his research has focused on the doctrinal and textual study of the Avicenna Latinus and its assimilation into thirteenth-century scholasticism. In a range of specialised publications he has examined the noetics of the Liber de anima and Avicenna’s Philosophia prima / Scientia divina, analysing the interweaving of the Aristotelian model with Neoplatonic emanationist schemes. His work also addresses the first Latin reception of Arabic thought in the twelfth century, focusing on the Toledo circle of translators (Dominicus Gundissalinus) and the transmission of fundamental sources such as the Liber de causis, tracing the articulation of first causality, the hierarchy of ontological principles and the doctrine of the reditus towards the One.
