Among my many superior companions have been Montaigne, Homer, Rembrandt, Tolstoy, Pascal, Thomas, Tocqueville, and Lincoln, but also the likes of Haydn, Halifax, Manzoni, Keller, and Cather. However, most helpful have been and are Nietzsche, Plato, the Bible, and Shakespeare, Shakespeare for the longest time. BOOKS Rome and Romans According to Shakespeare .

  • On Philosophical Counseling As a Philosophical Caretaking Practice
    On Philosophical Counseling as a Philosophical Caretaking Practice A THESIS SUBMITTED ON THE 23'd DAY OF JULY OF 2014 TO THE DEPARTMENT OF PHILOSOPHY IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE SCHOOL OF LmERAL ARTS OF TULANE UNIVERSITY FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY BY Gilberto Vargas-Gonzalez APPROVED: &~ 4. Ronna Burger, Ph.D., Director /hv VJvf!Jy-- Richard Velkley, Ph.D. ~.PhD -" On Philosophical Counseling as a Philosophical Caretaking Practice AN ABSTRACT SUBMITTED ON THE 23 rd DAY OF JULY OF 2014 TO THE DEPARTMENT OF PHILOSOPHY IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE SCHOOL OF LffiERAL ARTS OF TULANE UNIVERSITY FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY BY Gilberto Vargas-Gonzalez APPROVED: --+ffi-",/lvlJ.,--",-",,-,~c:.=.>p>~_ Ronna Burger, Ph.D., Director y~~ Richard Velkley, Ph.D. ~- Michael Zimmerman, Ph.D. While “philosophical counseling” emerged in the 1980’s as a new form of caretaking practice, it can be understood as an attempt to re-embrace a tradition that goes back to the ancients, with their conception of philosophy as a “way of life.” This study discusses elements of that tradition in order to provide a theoretical-historical framework for the modern practice of philosophical counseling. The central figure for this philosophic tradition is Socrates. The present study focused on his notion of the “the examined life,” while considering some doctrines in Hellenistic philosophy as further expressions of the Socratic tradition. As represented in the Platonic dialogues, Socrates exhibits “the examined life” by engaging in the practice of philosophy as some kind of “care of the soul.” Though he speaks on occasion of the “conversion” that may be required for the commitment to this philosophic practice, it is carried out, in dialogical settings, through the rational-cognition dimension of reason and argument, undertaken with a basic critical stance.

  • MAIMONIDES SCHOLARS PROGRAM at YALE UNIVERSITY June 24 - July 8, 2018
    MAIMONIDES SCHOLARS PROGRAM at YALE UNIVERSITY June 24 - July 8, 2018 1 A Jewish Summer at Yale Who Should Apply? Current high school juniors and seniors at public and private schools Location: Yale University Program Dates: June 24 – July 8, 2018 Application Deadline: February 16, 2018 2 The Jewish Summer I Never Had Dear Friend, The Tikvah Fund has launched many new educational programs over the years, but none that resonate as personally for me as the new Maimonides Scholars Program. When I was 17, I knew almost nothing about Judaism. Education meant everything in our family, but our Jewish education was weak. I studied dili- gently for my Bar Mitzvah, but never grappled seriously with the texts, traditions, and exceptionalism of Jewish civilization. I was interested in ideas—philosophy, politics, economics, even theology—but I never knew that Judaism had enduring wisdom to offer on the good life and the good society. In short: I was the high school student back then that the Maimonides Scholars Program aims to reach today. Based at Yale University, the Maimonides Scholars Program is an intensive, two-week intellectual and Jewish experience in late June and early July of summer 2018. Built around a series of seminars and conversations, the major topics will range from Jewish thought to political philosophy, from the spirit of American democracy to the meaning of Zionism, from current political debates to enduring moral problems. Our teachers and professors come from some of the great universities and think tanks in the world, and our students will form Jewish friendships that last a lifetime.
