FACULTY FELLOW
Matthew Minerd, PhD
My name is Matthew Minerd, and I hold a PhD in Philosophy from the Catholic University of America in Washington, DC. I am a professor of philosophy and moral theology at the Byzantine Catholic Seminary of Ss. Cyril and Methodius in Pittsburgh, PA. I also do work as an academic translator from French and Latin (both in matters philosophical and theological). Several of my translations are currently in print, and a number are anticipated for publication over the next several years.
I am personally devoted to the recovery of past philosophical and theological works, not out of a spirit of intellectual archeology but, rather, as providing legitimate voices in contemporary discussions. Too much academic philosophy and theology centers on “the literature,” which often leaves out much wisdom from the great philosophers of the scholastic tradition which ran parallel to the modern “mainstream.” Much of my academic interest involves injecting these voices into the current discussions—many of which must extend beyond mainstream academia, given its present ideological and financial constrictions.
