Nicholas Ogle
John and Daria Barry Foundation Fellow
Dr. Nicholas Ogle holds a Ph.D. in Moral Theology & Christian Ethics from the University of Notre Dame, where he was a fellow at the Center for Theology, Science, and Human Flourishing. His research explores the nature of human action, practical reason, and moral responsibility, with a focus on the moral thought of Thomas Aquinas and its modern reception. He has published articles in the Journal of the Society of Christian Ethics and the Scottish Journal of Theology, and is currently writing a monograph based on his dissertation entitled, “Ignorance in Action: A Thomistic Theory of Moral Culpability.” While at Penn, he will be conducting research related to the philosophy of G.E.M. Anscombe, drawing upon the Collegium Institute Anscombe Archive.
