Therapy does a great job of clearing away all the inauthentic layers, but it assumes there is an authentic you to be found. I think for a lot of people, there isn't, and they are left with nothing. We also need to teach people how create a meaningful life.
As a tenured professor at Los Medanos College, I believe in philosophy’s power to teach skills to live a meaningful life. I love teaching philosophers who challenge and force us to re-evaluate. Over the last ten years, I worked on constructing a theory of meaning to critique the value-driven theories of self, ethics, and life, which dominate contemporary society.
I focus on existential and post-modern hermeneutic phenomenology. I earned my M.A. in Philosophy from the University of Chicago.
