Michael B. Brezinsky, Ph.D. is a contemporary philosopher specializing in Metaphysics, Ontology, Existentialism and the History of Philosophy. He was awarded the Ph.D. in Philosophy from Tulane University (2000), the M.A. in Philosophy from Northern Illinois University (1993) and received the Dean's Award for Outstanding Contributions to the Intellectual Community from N.I.U. and the Mortar Board Award for Excellence in Teaching from Tulane. His doctoral dissertation, Paradox and Polemos: A Poetics of Care (Michael E. Zimmerman, Director) establishes an isomorphism between the notions of Dasein and the Work of Art in Heidegger's theory of truth. The thesis suggests that the focal entities are structurally parallel manifestations of the primal conflict of clearing and concealing as the primordial basis of the essence of truth. It is Dr. Brezinsky's contention that the primary vocation of the discipline of philosophy is to facilitate the spiritual/technological evolution of humanity. Toward this end, his lectures on many philosophical questions are freely available on the world wide web. He has established international notoriety for the incisive and intelligible analysis of historical works in Philosophy, and developed ''The Ethics of Freedom; A Unified Moral Theory" which suggests that the history of ethical theory culminates in the advancement of human freedom as the meaning of human existence. Dr. Brezinsky is currently a member of the Honors Faculty at Delgado Community College in New Orleans.
