Reflection on the Evolution of my Research, Scholarship
and Teaching: Setting the Context for my Work
Four decades ago my early focus began in the areas of Logic, Ontology
and the Philosophy of Language. My primary concern over the years
has been to seek to advance the perennial search for the fundamental
grammars of thought (logic of consciousness), the grammars of
reality (formal ontology) and the deep structures of language
and discourse (logic of natural reason). . . more
Research and Teaching Interests: philosophy
of logic and language; global ontology; global and comparative
philosophy; global ethics; global wisdom; Hindu, Buddhist, and
Zen tradition in global contexts
