He is the founding editor of Oxford Studies in Medieval Philosophy and the author of many scholarly books and articles on the history of philosophy and its contemporary manifestations. His 2011 book Metaphysical Themes 1274-1671 traced the breakdown of Aristotelianism and the rise of early modern metaphysics.

Reviews
[Pasnau's] command of the historical literature--primary and secondary--is extremely impressive, especially with regards to his specialty: the medieval period. The notes in particular offer a wealth of information and provide enough substance for me to heartily recommend this book. * Kevin Meeker, Mind *
After Certainty is two excellent epistemology books in one. This book is both an elegant argument for--and potential corrective to--that regrettable truth. * Stephen Hetherington, Australasian Journal of Philosophy *
a stimulating, readable synopsis of more than two millennia of epistemological thought . ... [I] wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone with an interest in the history of epistemology * Sydney Penner, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews *
