An Invitation To The Class
About The Course
This is a 10-week online course, centered on studying one of the most innovative science fiction authors of the 20th century, Philip K. Dick.
We will be studying and discussing key themes, images, arguments, distinctions, insights, and narratives within nine of his novels: Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?, A Maze Of Death, Ubik, The Three Stigmata Of Palmer Eldritch, The Man In The High Castle, Flow My Tears, The Policeman Said, A Scanner Darkly, Valis, and The Divine Invasion
The class will meet online for weekly 90-minute class sessions using Zoom, on Saturdays at 9 AM Central Time. All class sessions will be recorded and students can watch them at their leisure as often as they like. Students will also be provided with handouts developed by the instructor.

About The Instructor
After a successful career as a college professor, researcher, and administrator, I started our company, ReasonIO to help people study and apply philosophy in public, practical, and professional contexts. I continue teaching philosophy, literature, religious studies, and humanities courses at the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design.
I take difficult philosophical texts, thinkers, and topics, and make them accessible for everyday people. That's how philosophy gets traction and remains closely connected with real life!
From 2016 to 2022, I served as the Editor of Stoicism Today. I remain a member of the Modern Stoicism, ltd. team. I am also the producer of the Half Hour Hegel series. I have authored one book (Reason Fulfilled By Revelation), edited two volumes (Stoicism Today Selected Essays, volume 3 and volume 4), and published dozens of articles, book chapters, and encyclopedia entries. Although I work in significant part outside of the academy, I remain actively engaged in research and scholarship.
I have held a Research Residency at the Institute for Saint Anselm Studies, been a Visiting Scholar position at European Graduate School, and was a Charles Chesnutt Library Fellow. I am also an APPA-certified Philosophical Counselor.
