Скачать или смотреть Jerome Arthur Shaffer on mind, body, and ethics

Jerome Arthur Shaffer discusses mind/body dualism and veganism with Joel Marks (who is filming) and Jack Davis (also off camera). November 1, 2009.

At the time of this video, Jerry was professor emeritus of philosophy at the University of Connecticut, as well as a marriage and family counselor. This video shows Jerry in classic reflective and dialogic mode, including his endearing habit of shaking his head up and down to indicate friendly receptivity to the ideas and arguments of his interlocutors.

Jack Davis was a Romanticist and Proust specialist in the English Department at the University of Connecticut, and Jerry's great friend in their latter years. The video was filmed in Jack's house, where Jerry visited for intellectual conversation just about every day until Jack's death in 2012.

Jerry Shaffer died four years later at age 87.

Filmed by Joel Marks, privileged to have been Jerry's student (1976-1982) and friend of both Jerry and Jack ever since.
