As far back as I can remember, I have been interested in everything. That’s why I chose to study philosophy: the discipline that studies everything in relation to wisdom. The study of philosophy hinges on the belief that there is a truth to be discovered.
A professor of philosophy and religion at Hillsdale College in Michigan, Schlueter teaches courses in literature, politics, philosophy and a popular, free Hillsdale online course on Western Philosophy. He has been a fellow of the National Endowment for the Humanities and the James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutes at Princeton University.
The author has published numerous articles on philosophy and politics, many of which have appeared in the Perspectives on Political Science, First Things, Modern Age, Logos: A Journal of Catholic Thought and Culture, The Catholic Social Science Review and First Things: A Journal of Religion and Public Life, among others.
Schlueter’s published books include Selfish Libertarians and Socialist Conservatives: The Foundations of the Libertarian-Conservative Debate, Stanford University Press (2017) and One Dream or Two? Justice in America and in the Thought of Martin Luther King, Jr., Lexington Books (2002). He was also editor (with Mark Mitchell) of The Humane Vision of Wendell Berry, ISI Books, (2011).
Among his responsibilities, Schlueter serves as pre-law advisor, teaches a course every fall on law and society and serves on various committees, including Educational Policies, Technology Services, Library and Academic Honesty Review Board, among others.
