Areas of Interest
Nightingale's research focuses on Greek philosophy and literature, especially Plato and Aristotle; she attempts to locate these philosophic writers in the socio-political context of classical Greece (especially democratic Athens). More generally, she is interested in interdisciplinary approaches to ancient and modern philosophical texts.

She is currently researching and writing on the philosophy and literature of ecology (in the modern and postmodern periods).

Selected Bibliography
Her books include Genres in Dialogue: Plato and the Construct of Philosophy (Cambridge 1996) and The Philosophic Spectator in Classical Greece: Theoria in its Cultural Context (Cambridge forthcoming 2004).
