Don Robertson, The American Philosopher


Philosophy Lecture Series, The Moral Imperative

Don Robertson is available for a speaking engagements, temporary teaching assignments, debates. Enquiries should be sent to [email protected]


A typical talk before an audience lasts just short of an hour, during which time Robertson will discuss his philosophic views and time permitting will field questions from an audience.

The lecture series has been developed into three presentations. 1) The Moral Imperative of Life, 2) Science and Religion, and 3) Categorical Knowledge, Kant's Unknowing Gift and The Test of Truth and Free Will.

Typical costs cover traveling expenses, time in travel, plus a talk fee. Your institution should expect to spend in the neighborhood of $250k per lecture.

I am not actively seeking a teaching position, however, on a temporary basis I would entertain offers for a single year, no more. Please note, I will not be required to hand out student grades, nor attend faculty conferences or meetings. Also note, I hold no teaching credentials, nor even an undergraduate degree.

One might somewhat foolishly ask, what do I have to offer such an institution of higher learning? That's ridiculously simple to answer. I have made the most important philosophic discovery in more than a thousand years, The Moral Imperative of Life. I will teach two semester-sessions of a course entitled exactly that, and, it will be a course that is more important than mathematics or even English. It should be a required core curriculum course regardless of a student's studies or major.

If that's not good enough for your institution, go find yourself some Ivy League philosophy Ph.D. who is qualified to teach, is aspiring to become another tenured slackard, bone a few undergards, and likely right now driving a cab in New York City.

It is appalling what passes for education these days, and given the current dismal state of higher education, there could be no better opportunity to give your faculty a diversity I would strongly encourage all educational institutions seek. There isn't a university in the country with faculty that can teach what I can teach about philosophy, nor any university faculty member likely to teach what I would teach. The meager and muddled diversity of thought represented by academic philosophy has become sterile, arcane, and even destructive of promise, meaning and knowledge. All the existentialist, nihilist, Libertarian, secular humanist, theist and mystic philosophers have simply tossed in the towel on philosophy. I have not. I want to see philosophy rein supreme over all science as it should, and, as it does in the minds of any adequate philosopher.

It is our intention to, that of my wife and I, at some point in the future circumnavigate the globe, or, I should say, that is our fond intention. If you represent a group anywhere in the world that would like for us to schedule a visit and a speaking engagement, you may contact me via email for that purpose.

I am also quite willing and available to debate the pros and cons of any and all belief systems by presenting the implications of the ethical constraints implied by the moral imperative of life.
