Curriculum Vitae

Constance Meinwald is an Associate Professor.  A 1987 Princeton Ph.D., she specializes in Ancient Philosophy.  Her early work took the form of her book, Plato’s “Parmenides” (Oxford, 1991) and “Good-bye to the Third Man” in the Cambridge Companion to Plato (1992).  Prof. Meinwald has been working on a new project to look at episodes in the history of the idea of consent; an early publication from this series is “Ignorance and Opinion in Stoic Epistemology”, (Phronesis 2005).  She has also continued to produce articles on Plato, and is now engaged on a (fairly comprehensive) book on him.  Prof. Meinwald has been a Junior Fellow of the Center for Hellenic Studies, a Fellow of the UIC Humanities Institute, and has taught as a visitor at Cornell and at Barnard/Columbia.
