A Teacher’s Life

Philosophy

“This is a splendid collection, one that exhibits both the great variety and underlying unity of the philosophical and educational issues that have drawn Steven M. Cahn's attention throughout his career. His distinguished contributions to the field of philosophy, to the institutions that preserve and foster humanistic inquiry, and to higher education as a whole are truly remarkable. This book reflects Cahn's scholarly interests and his moral and practical concerns. It will provide pleasure and instruction to professional philosophers and, indeed, to anyone seriously interested in the well-being of the academy.”

Pathways Through Academia

“This book is a brisk and conversational guide to a successful academic career. With characteristic clarity, and with evident love and respect for the academic life, Steven Cahn draws on his wide and deep experience to offer an informed perspective on thriving throughout all stages of that life, from being a student to being a professor, a department chair, dean, provost or president. Cahn has, himself, had success in all those roles and at many different leading institutions of higher education, so this book—a lively read—offers a font of practical wisdom.”
