About Sam Keen . . .
Sam Keen was, in his own words, "overeducated at Harvard
and Princeton," and a former professor of philosophy
and religion at "various legitimate institutions"
before becoming a "free-lance thinker, lecturer, seminar
leader and consultant." His
work as a writer, lecturer and workshop leader focuses on
exploring these questions: How can I find a meaning, purpose,
vocation for my life? What can I know? What ought I to do?
For what may I hope? Is there life beyond death? Whom do
I love? Who loves me? What curtails my freedom? How can
I escape from the constricting social, political, sexual,
and economic myths that were imposed on me by my family
and culture? To what cause, ideal, faith may I surrender
without destroying the integrity of my self? What does it
mean to experience the sacred? How can I live a spirited
life in a world dominated by a secular-technological-economic
vision of reality? How can we create a more just and peaceful
world? Sam
has a marked disrespect for accepted boundaries, tired answers,
uncritical ideologies and the sacred jargon of various professions.
