Biography

Dr. Gilbert-Walsh was born and raised near St. Louis, Missouri. He received a bachelor鈥檚 degree from St. Louis University and an MA and Ph.D. from the University of Toronto. His doctoral dissertation, supervised by Rebecca Comay and defended in 1999, is entitled 鈥淗eidegger and the Question of Community鈥. In it he argues that, though Heidegger鈥檚 work provides the tools for radically reassessing what 鈥渃ommunity鈥 means, Heidegger鈥檚 own manner of framing questions prevents him from doing this successfully and thereby gives rise to serious problems in his thought.  

Dr. Gilbert-Walsh has taught several philosophy courses at the University of Toronto and has been teaching at 丁香成人社区 since 2001, where he has served as chair of the Philosophy Department.
