Dr. Vincelette came to philosophy by way of biology where he was previously a research assistant at the University of Illinois at Chicago in Molecular Biology (1989) and at the San Bernardino County Museum in Paleontology (1990). Dr. Vincelette previously taught biology at Chaffey College in Rancho Cucamonga, California (1999) and philosophy at St. John’s Seminary College (2000-2004) before joining the faculty of St. John’s Seminary in 2004. His areas of specialization include medieval theories of ethics and contemporary Catholic philosophy. Besides co-authoring a paper on fossil horses, Dr. Vincelette has translated and written an introduction to Pierre Rousselot’s The Problem of Love in the Middle Ages (Marquette University Press, 2001) and has also published entries on contemporary Anglican and Catholic philosophers for the Dictionary of Twentieth-Century British Philosophers (Thoemmes-Continuum, 2005).
