Peripatetic Praxis

I am a professional philosopher.  I hold a doctorate in philosophy, teach at academic institutions, belong to professional philosophical organizations, and participate in a variety of networked research programs in philosophy. 

More importantly, however, I am an amateur philosopher.  I do it for love.

I am concerned with renewing the quest for “the big picture,” the “forest” and not just the “trees,” synthesis as a complement to (not replacement for) analysis. I am interested in renewing the serious and rigorous quest for wisdom and wholeness. I work on developing transdisciplinary approaches to the most profound questions facing humanity. I participate in global efforts at transforming education. 

My approach is “peripatetic”–it is about being “on the move” in a loosely postmodern Aristotelian way. This way at the same time promotes “praxis”–not just reflection but concrete, contextualized reflection that can and does lead to action.
