The author taught American government at a community college and philosophy at St. Mary's of Orchard Lake in Michigan. He studied psychology and philosophy at Grand Valley before entering the program of politics and literature at the University of Dallas. He has suggested that psychology follow the Socratic turn, away from the pre-Socratic basis of our current science of the soul. His dissertation, on Shakespeare as a political philosopher, is published as a book: Shakespeare's King Lear with the Tempest: The Discovery of Nature and the Recovery of Classical Natural Right.
