Language: English
Venue: T2-102
About Presenter:

Philosophy, 1968), taught philosophy at Purdue University and Stanford University, and did educational studies at Temple University.

Abstract:
Professor Leonard J. Waks describes his journey from cheerless school years to his discovery of philosophy as his life calling. He initially saw philosophy as social criticism, but his teachers directed him along a narrow academic path. His dissatisfaction with academic philosophy led to a period of reflection. He engaged with stoicism and Chinese Buddhism but was not yet able to integrate these into his academic work. Prof.Waks left academic philosophy for a career in educational studies, combining philosophical criticism and practical educational work. This career shift led him to study the philosophy of John Dewey. Eventually, all of these strands came together. He has found ways to integrate all of them in both his philosophical and educational work. Since 2017, he has been invited to speak, teach and consult in China. Working with others, he contributes to global philosophy and intercultural humane education.
Eligibility: All students & staff
Light refreshments will be served. While walk-ins are welcome at the event, early registration is appreciated so we can better prepare for the event.
