The author met 'his philosopher' fifty-four yars ago--a man who
teaches by the Socratic method, who stays in touch with his
students for their whole career, and who values non-conformity in
the best sense of the word. Most faculty deeply learn their field,
plumb its depths zealously, and relish the fruits of their labor.
Some continue the quest--for knowledge, for the frontier, for the
important 'next questions'--which means giving up the accolades and
perquisites of the learned for the unknown field yet unplowed.
Fewer still imbue their students with these same qualities, which
was the gift of Carver Mead for the author. This monograph
pinpoints the lessons that Mead provided--and the sometimes
unexpected results--with the thought that such ideas may inspire
others to assert their maverick, independent ways...cheerfully
abandoning the cloak of success for the next great quest to help
advance knowledge, products, and services for a world sorely in
need of contribution on many fronts.
