Dec. 16th, 2004 02:21 pmIs Monday morning. In the meantime, I have been interviewed by ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
joffridus:
1. What has been your formal academic education? (courses of study, degrees, majors)
B.A., Philosophy, Earlham College
M.A., Higher and Adult Education, Columbia University
Ed.M., Ed.D., Philosophy, the Social Sciences and Education, Columbia University
Additional study, the Lindisfarne Association, Dialogue House Intensive Journal Program, Institute for the Advancement of Philosophy for Children.
2. You list epistemology among your interests. What philosopher(s) have effected your thinking the most in this regard?
Whatever got into me to do that? Apart from the usual suspects... C.I. Lewis -- that's Clarence Irving -- for Mind and the World Order and Analysis of Knowledge and Valuation.
3. You are stranded on a desert island. You may pick three people to be stranded with you: One to help you with any manual labor that may be necessary; one to engage you in intellectual discussion; and one for companionship. Who do you choose?
Manual labor... Any volunteers? How about Xena? She seems pretty handy.
Intellectual discussion... Robert L. Horn, Th.D., Trueblood Professor Emeritus, Earlham College.
Companionship... Are wives permitted?
4. Who was the most important Christian thinker of the 20th century?
With all due honor to Berdyaev, Florensky, Bulgakov, Barth and Bonhoeffer and a strong urge to name Rufus Jones, I would have to say Hans Urs von Balthasar.
5. A wizard appears before you and informs you that you will be turned into a mythical creature for the rest of your life. What creature do you request and why?
A good man. Because I am always curious to try something new and outrageous. Seriously? A bonacon. Because I am a writer.
If you would like me to interview you, reply to this, and I will do my best to come up with five questions, and you can post the answers in your journal, with a similar offer to interview your friends.
