THEODORE KISIEL Date of birth: October 30,1930. Place of birth:
Brackenridge, Pennsylvania. Date of institution of highest degree:
PhD., Duquesne University, 1962. Academic appointments: University
of Dayton; Canisius College; Northwestern University; Duquesne
University; Northern Illinois University. I first left the
university to pursue a career in metallurgical research and nuclear
technology. But I soon found myself drawn back to the uni versity
to 'round out' an overly specialized education. It was along this
path that I was 'waylaid' into philosophy by teachers like H. L.
Van Breda and Bernard Boelen. The philosophy department at Duquesne
University was then (1958-1962) a veritable "little Louvain," and
the Belgian-Dutch connection exposed me to (among other visiting
scholars) Jean Ladriere and Joe Kockelmans, who planted the seeds
which eventually led me to the hybrid discipline of a hermeneutics
of natural science, and prompted me soon after graduation to make
the first of numerous extended visits to Belgium and Germany. The
endeavor to learn French and German led me to the task of
translating the phenomenological literature bearing especially on
natural science and on Heidegger. The talk in the sixties was of a
"continental divide" in philosophy between Europe and the
Anglo-American world. But in designing my courses in the philosophy
of science, I naturally gravitated to the works of Hanson, Kuhn,
Polanyi and Toulmin without at first fully realizing why I felt
such a strong kinship with them, beyond their common anti
positivism."
