He has published books and articles on ancient Greek philosophy, ethics, social philosophy, literature, moral psychology, and Wittgenstein. Lear’s practice and thinking in psychoanalysis, gives his writings a depth of psychological insight often missing in contemporary philosophy.
Jonathan Lear is the John U. Nef Distinguished Service Professor at the Committee on Social Thought and in the Department of Philosophy and the Director of the Neubauer Collegium for Culture and Society at the University of Chicago. He is also a practicing psychoanalyst and serves on the faculties of the Chicago Psychoanalytic Institute and the Western New England Institute for Psychoanalysis. His books include: *Aristotle and Logical Theory; Aristotle: The Desire to Understand; Love and Its Place in Nature: A Philosophical Interpretation of Freudian Psychoanalysis; Therapeutic Action: An Earnest Plea for Irony; Happiness, Death and the Remainder of Life; Freud*. After the publication of his book *Radical Hope: Ethics in the Face of Cultural Devastation*, Lear was adopted into a Crow family.
