Biography

Dr. Rondo Keele took a B.A. in Philosophy and a B.S. in Anthropology at the University of Utah, where he also completed a Master’s degree in Philosophy.  For his philosophy Ph.D. at Indiana University, he studied medieval philosophy, logic, and German Idealism, also completing a Ph.D. minor in Religious Studies and a certificate in Medieval Studies.  His main research area includes William of Ockham (d. 1347) and his contemporaries, and late medieval scholasticism generally.  More specifically, his research looks at the various ways innovations in logic and semantic theory in the high Middle Ages affect and are in turn affected by developments in philosophical theology.

Dr. Keele lectures in the College’s great books sequence, and also teaches ancient philosophy, medieval philosophy, logic, gnostic Christianity, and classical Latin poetry.  He has written books, book chapters, and numerous articles on Franciscan theologian William of Ockham, and his contemporaries Walter Chatton and Peter Auriol.  In the summer he disappears into the dusty warrens of Cairo, Egypt, and is seldom heard from.
