USF Professor Michael Torre, presents “Philosophy - A Lifelong Journey.

Perhaps the ideal purpose of a story is to generate a form of empathy — the sharing of a perspective, a life journey, that opens a window of understanding simply through the telling. 

This month, Michael Torre, professor of philosophy at the University of San Francisco, will share his forty-year journey of philosophical reflection. 

While philosophers differ in many ways — religious or secular, analytic or continental — a unifying conviction of all serious philosophers is a commitment to think deeply about things that matter. 

 Michael Torre’s story offers us a rare opportunity to see how a philosopher wrestles with questions of reason, value, good and evil, faith and doubt, over decades of reflection — and, in turn, to consider what that lifelong wrestling might reveal about our own philosophical journey.
