This book offers a personal account of scholars in philosophy and
education with whom I have had the good fortune to interact during
the course of my half century at Harvard University and elsewhere.
My aim in writing this account is threefold: ?rst, to recapture for
myself the pleasure of their memorable company for its own sake,
secondly, to have occasion to re?ect on the educational impact of
their teaching, and, ?nally, to counteract the prevalent amnesia of
universities by recalling the conduct of scholars of past
generations who still have things to teach us. Iowe thanks to many
people who have helped me in this endeavor. Professor Harvey
Siegel, Dr. Stefania Jha, and Dr. Rosalind Schef?er read initial
versions of the manuscript and gave me the bene't of their
criticisms, as did the publisher's anonymous readers. JoAnne
Sorabella and Stefania Jha listened to my readings of a number of
these chapters, and JoAnne Sorabella produced several typescripts
of the whole with her usual matchless pro?ciency. I presented some
portions of the manuscript to the Philosophy of Education Research
Center at Harvard and pro?ted from these occasions. After I joined
the Mandel Center at Brandeis University in the Fall of 2003,
Avital Feuer assisted me ably in readying the ?nal version of the
book. And I am grateful to Laurie Schef?er for her meticulous help
with proofreading.
