A Life Considered

More about the book

Memoir/PhilosophyThis is a book about identifying connections between present and past, self and history, humans and others. Beginning with reflections on a life course, it then portrays how the contingencies and historical events experienced by the author translate into the person he became and what he came to value. For those who think about how their lives took shape and turned into beliefs and ways of being, this combination of memoir and contemplation of Nature, ethical perspectives, and the recent history of our beleaguered country will help make sense of their own journey.
