Thomas Osborne Receives Humboldt Research Fellowship
11/26/2008
 Dr. Thomas M. Osborne Jr., assistant professor of philosophy at UST's Center for Thomistic Studies, has been awarded the prestigious Humboldt Research Fellowship for Experienced Researchers for the 2009-2010 academic year.
The Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, first established in 1860, is named for Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859), a naturalist and explorer who was considered to be the founder of physical geography, climatology, ecology and oceanography. The Humboldt Foundation promotes “academic cooperation between excellent scientists and scholars from abroad and from Germany” and allows the recipient to carry out a long-term research project in cooperation with an academic host at a research institution in Germany.
Dr. Osborne will be working at Thomas-Institut in Cologne, Germany, with an internationally renowned group of researchers in the area of medieval philosophy. His project is a book to be titled, Human Action in Aquinas, Scotus, and Ockham. The work will address the development of central themes in moral psychology and ethics through these three influential medieval philosophers.
