    'A' is for ... Aesara of Lucania
    (IU Conscience Project, 2021) Gramelspacher, Mary Lou; Gaffney, Margaret M.; Galvin, Matthew R.
    Aesara of Lucana was an ancient philosopher and forerunner of moral psychology who flourished sometime between three hundred and one hundred Before the Common Era (BCE). Historians of philosophy classify Aesara of Lucania among the Late Pythagoreans (425 BCE and possibly as late as circa 100 CE), along with Phintys of Sparta and Perictione I (Waithe and Harper, 1987).

    'A' is for ... Hannah Arendt (1906-1975)
    (IU Conscience Project, 2024) Gramelspacher, Mary Lou; Gaffney, Margaret M.; Galvin, Matthew R.
    In her life Arendt retained a deep, non-dogmatic, personal faith, but she also believed, Verkamp informs us further, that “the injection of religious passion into political life would likely pervert both religion and politics into detestable exercises in ideological fanaticism.” In emerging adulthood, she attended lectures in Christian theology and was introduced to the work of Søren Kierkegaard. Her pursuit of knowledge may have begun with theology but soon led her into philosophy as well.
