Philosophical Life

William C. Gentry was both an academic philosopher perfectly willing to engage in the philosophical 'conversations' of the written word and more importantly a true philosopher in the Platonic and Socratic style. Engaging with those around him in discourse in live conversations which are the vehicle of actual philosophical inquiry and discovery. These essays are the product of those conversations. Gentry's thoughts consisted of investigations into the deepest and most profound questions of human nature ethics and knowledge. This volume is a tribute both to his role as a teacher and philosopher. As a teacher friend and colleague Gentry was the epitome of the philosopher: questioning exploring critiquing discovering.
