About the Author

The author of this textbook deserves little credit in comparison with the original authors from whom he excerpted this material (see the attributions sections for the specifics). The author will accept credit for being an enthusiastic educator who loves teaching philosophy and guiding students to being more philosophical. She is intensely sympathetic to the vision of Open Education, so that expense will be less of an obstacle to participation in formal education.

Ana Belen Gonzalez Perez is a professor who loves life and philosophy. She has an extended career in many areas, and now she uses that experience to share the spark that moves us all along, finding meaning in our lives.
