Professor Kevin Staley joins us today in discussing all things philosophical and environmental. These subjects are central to the character of this notable Saint Anselm teacher and local New Hampshire “urban gardener” whose fascination with the natural world has contributed greatly to his philosophical outlook. Kevin has been cultivating the soil and cultivating curiosity in Saint Anselm students for three and a half decades as he continues to try to understand where we humans fit into seen and unseen universe. Settle in for this free-wheeling conversation about Kevin’s Kentucky upbringing, metaphysical ideas, Neoplatonic thought, and what we can learn from Boethius, pepper plants, and our dogs.
