Stefan Schindler received his Ph.D. in philosophy from Boston College in 1975. Associate Professor of Philosophy in the Humanities Department at Berklee College of Music in Boston, he taught philosophy, psychology, education and religion from 1976 to 1990. In 1988, he was awarded the Boston Baha’i Peace Award. He lived in a Zen temple in Cambridge for a year; an echo of his three years as a child in Japan. In Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Dr. Schindler taught at The University of Pennsylvania, La Salle University, The University of the Sciences, and Community College of Philadelphia. Dr. Schindler is a Trustee of The Peace Abbey in Sherborn, Massachusetts. He wrote the Peace Abbey Courage of Conscience Awards for Howard Zinn and John Lennon. With Justice Lewis Randa, he co-founded The National Registry for Conscientious Objection, and co-wrote the Courage of Conscience Awards for Thich Nhat Hanh, Ram Dass, and the Dalai Lama. Stefan Schindler's other book is The Tao of Socrates: Eastern Wisdom and the Birth of Western Philosophy. Now living in Salem, Massachusetts, and teaching philosophy at Salem State University, he is working on his next two books: Discoursing With The Gods: The Art and Practice of Tarot Divination, and Global Mind Change: Whole Brain Harmony and the Re-Enchantment of the World.
