Dr. Aviv is interested in Asian thought, especially Buddhist philosophy and intellectual history. He studies the intersections between early Buddhist Philosophy, especially of the Abhidharma and the Yogācāra traditions, and contemporary philosophy. His interest includes topics such as philosophy of mind, cognitive science, ethics, and contemplative practices. He also studies the way the Yogācāra school was received and developed in China.
