\"\"George M. Brockway, Ph.D. <\/strong>spent many years in the classroom both here in the U.S. and in Switzerland, making Philosophy and other subjects come alive for his students. Trained as a Jesuit, he has read deeply in the classics and the Philosophy of Religion, especially, in recent years, in the area of Buddhist Studies. Dr. Brockway also spent time in the private sector, first as an administrator of a General Internal Medicine Clinic and then as a stockbroker and investment consultant in the financial industry. His broad experience and keen interest in teaching give his writing a very practical and down-to-earth bent.<\/p>\n

\nESSAYS IN SEARCH OF UNDERSTANDING<\/strong><\/p>\n

This book, Essays in Search of Understanding, covers a wide range of topics from \u201cPuzzles and Problems in Buddhism\u201d to so-called \u201cunconditional love.\u201d Many of them are short and pithy, meant more as discussion starters than as something authoritative and final. But all of them reflect considerable thought and inquiry. Thoughts and lines of argument which may well both spark your own interest and further your own thinking on these topics. But the book is not an exercise in technical or academic philosophy. Reading and understanding it does not require an advanced degree in philosophy, it only requires an interest in any of the various subject matters and a willingness to wrestle with ideas. The shortness of many of the essays and their open-endedness are meant to invite the reader into an evening’s discussion. It can often be both challenging and enlightening to come to ‘see’ what you actually believe about a topic or, even more surprising, what your beliefs about a particular subject commit you to believing about still other subjects. Enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
