Foreword
This book stands as a testimony to the creative impact of Jack Kilgore's teaching on the minds of his students. Even so, a teacher's impact is often unseen. For while words can motivate physical action and such action is quite visible, the words with which teachers and scholars engage their students are intended to create changes in the mind. And one can never determine with precision what those changes are until such minds produce words of their own.
The intellectual views reflected in these pages testify to new perspectives nurtured in young minds as they outgrew a natural realism common to life's early stages. The new perspectives required new discipline. The new discipline gained strength by pursuing different ways of knowing and being. And with these perspectives came new ways of understanding relationships and of engaging the world.
Such an intellectual adventure leads to the unexpected. One expects that the adventure will someday end, but it does not, although resting places can be found along the way. One expects that the stumbling throughout the adventure will lead to condemnation, but instead one finds encouragement. One expects that fear will be a close follower, but instead one experiences gratitude that increases as the mind's work progresses. These adventures are largely unseen, yet they are the day spring from which the words of this book emerge. To be sure, the essays that follow are philosophical in background and method. They address issues and problems in the modes characteristic of contemporary styles of analysis and synthesis. Yet they rest on the humanizing adventures referred to above.
The authors who have collaborated here have been students of W.J. Kilgore. Most of them studied Greek Philosophy with him, hence the general focus of the essays. The purpose of this book is to contribute to scholarly work in philosophy, and to do so in a way that expresses, even if in small measure, a profound gratitude for the creative teaching and intellectual challenge that permeate his professional career. To the pilgrimage characteristic of all life, he added an intellectual depth and philosophical rigor that is uncommon. His students sensed in him a steadfastness of character that gives direction to the
