At the end of 2024 Stephen retired from teaching courses at Bodhi College and elsewhere in order to concentrate on his writing and art projects at home in France. He will continue to give occasional online and in person talks at conferences and other venues. He is also available to be interviewed on podcasts.
Stephen’s new book Buddha, Socrates and Us: Ethical Living in Uncertain Times (Yale University Press) is now available as a hardcover book, an e-book, as well as an audio book recorded by the author.
Two podcasts in which Stephen discusses the book are now online:
1. “Fire Philosophy” with scholars Dale Wright and Krzysztof Piekarski.
2. Tricycle podcast with the editor James Shaheen.
On Thursday, September 4 at 16:00 CEST, Stephen will be interviewed on-line by Bryan Kam about the book for Interintellect. Further information HERE.
