Philip Grier ’64 has received the Distinguished Teaching Award, the highest honor given to a faculty member by Dickinson College. The Thomas Bowman Professor of Philosophy and Religion since 1997, Grier says, “The good opinion of one’s own professional colleagues is perhaps the most meaningful commendation that one’s work can receive.” His specialties include Hegel and 19th-century philosophy, political and social philosophy, ethics and the philosophy of law, the history of modern philosophy, and Russian philosophy. From 2006 to 2008, he served as president of the Hegel Society of America. He has written and edited several books, including most recently the translation from Russian of a two-volume commentary on Hegel by I. A. Il’in titled The Philosophy of Hegel as a Doctrine of the Concreteness of God and Humanity. Volume 1 has appeared, and volume 2 will be released in March.
