| Introduction | I have a Ph.D. in philosophy and have taught the subject off and on since the mid-1980s. Until June of 2012 I lived in the U.S.; currently I am living in Santiago, Chile. I am an author with three books entitled Civil Wrongs: What Went Wrong With Affirmative Action (1994); Worldviews: Christian Theism versus Modern Materialism (2005) and most recently Four Cardinal Errors: Reasons for the Decline of the American Republic (2011). I have also written articles and essays for websites such as LewRockwell.com, NewsWithViews.com, AmericanDailyHerald.com, and others. More recently, however, I have begun working my way towards three new projects: the topic of the new blog started on September 8, 2012: the Fifth Stage Blog. |
