What I Do
The questions that pull at you, followed where they go.
I carry working knowledge of philosophy, world religions, world traditions, languages, anthropology, and the metaphysics that connect them. Bring me what you're thinking about. I'll meet it where it lives.
i.
Philosophy
From the pre-Socratics to phenomenology. The big questions, traced through who asked them first and how they answered.
ii.
World Religions
Tradition, scripture, ritual, mysticism. Inside the faith you grew up with, and the ones you didn't.
iii.
Cultural Histories
Civilizations as they understood themselves. Anthropology that takes its subjects seriously. The languages and cosmologies that come with them.
iv.
Metaphysics
Being, time, identity, consciousness, fate, freedom. The questions philosophy hasn't finished and might never. Worth the conversation anyway.
v.
Psychology of the Inner Life
The conversation between thought, soul, and self that runs underneath the visible life. Depth psychology, contemplative traditions, the part of you that asks what you're doing here.
vi.
Witness
Sometimes you don't want an answer. You want the question held with you. I can do that too — quietly, without rushing to resolution.
