Mark Gifford specializes in ancient Greek philosophy. Although his focus lies primarily in ethics and epistemology, his concerns range over most philosophical topics and figures in the Pre-Classical, Classical, and Hellenistic periods. He also has interests in the place of philosophy within the broader context of Greek intellectual, political, and cultural history. Special research concentrations include the literary dimensions of Platonic dialogues and the epistemological project of Plato and Aristotle, particularly its relations with their ethical theories and its significance for contemporary epistemological theorizing.
