Bio
Eric Weislogel, Ph.D., is the Executive Director and Vice President of the
Governing Board of the Metanexus Institute, headquartered in Bryn Mawr,
Pennsylvania, USA. In addition, he serves as the Director of the Local
Societies Initiative and its sequel grant program, the Metanexus Global
Network Initiative, with hundreds of projects in more than 40 countries. He
is also Senior Contributing Editor of the Global Spiral, the online journal of
the Metanexus Institute.
Prior to joining Metanexus, Dr. Weislogel was assistant professor of
philosophy at the Indiana University of Pennsylvania and also taught at the
Pennsylvania State University. He has published a number of philosophical
essays and reviews in such journals as Philosophy Today, Transdisciplinarity
in Science and Religion, Idealistic Studies, Philosophy in Review, Science
and Theology News, and the Journal of the American Academy of Religion.
Additionally, his articles have appeared in the online journals
Metapsychology and the Journal for Cultural and Religious Theory, as well as
in the Global Spiral.
Dr. Weislogel is a Fellow of the World Academy of Arts and Sciences, and he
was awarded the Diplôme d'Honneur by the Centre International de Recherches
et Études Transdisciplinaires (CIRET) in 2007. He is an active member in a
number of scholarly societies, including the American Academy of Religion,
the American Academy for the Advancement of Science, and the American
Philosophical Association, for which he currently serves on the Committee
for International Cooperation.
Dr. Weislogel's main philosophical interest consists in the interplay of
postmodernism, religion, science, ethics, and metaphysics.
He and his wife, Kellie Given, have two children: Lucas, a graduate of St.
Vincent College, Latrobe, PA, who teaches high school physics and is a
graduate student at the University of Virginia; and Elisa, a graduate of La
Salle University and presently in her final year as a student at the
Villanova University School of Law.
In his spare time, Dr. Weislogel can be found pursuing his passion for book
collecting, reading, listening to music and going to concerts, trying to
figure out what’s happening on Lost, rooting for the Phillies and the
Steelers (and the Eagles), baking bread, or enjoying a walk with his wife.
He is still trying to have a meaningful conversation with their two cats,
Bagheera (“Bags”) and KitKat, but without success so far.
