Research and Creative Activity
Dr. Bloom’s research focus is in Ancient Western Philosophy, though his interests extend throughout the history of philosophy. He has published works on Plato, Aristotle, and Plotinus, including a book on Plato's Theaetetus. Some of the types of questions he finds interesting are how something made of parts is held together as one thing?, what is the relation between knowledge and being?, and is it possible to find the limits of knowing? He also wonders why he seems to get lost more than most people.
