The theme of my blog


Luceat Philosophia Nostra – Let our philosophy shine.

          My purpose is to share conversation about philosophy, conversations that may or may not be deep, but will always be free of jargon and accessible to anyone who is interested. I spent my career teaching philosophy to undergraduates, the vast majority of whom were not philosophy majors. I gave many conference papers and made sure that they were understandable by anyone on the audience while being of interest to those who were specialists. My chief interests are in the classical American philosophers, especially William James, Charles Sanders Peirce, and Josiah Royce, but I am not limited to these ideas. The reason that I want to blog is that I like to share my ideas and I love to hear what other people have to say.

I think that philosophy thrives best when it interacts with other areas such as religion and spirituality, science, beauty in nature, art, poetry, music, ecology, economics, business, public policy, sports, and personal relationships.
