Manuel Lopez has taught political philosophy at Harvard and at the University of Chicago, after receiving his undergraduate and law degrees from Harvard. His J.D. thesis, as an NSF graduate fellow in political science, was on Alfarabi's analysis of the principles of the religious opinions underlying all societies.

He has written on the effects of the democratic bias in justice on American social and legal institutions for several academic and law journals. He is currently working on a dissertation on Plato's view of eros and its ultimate end, and the light that casts on the rise of the new atheism and the theological premises of modern science. He is also an entrepreneur in the futures industry, having served as principal and adviser of trading funds in Boston and Chicago.
