The Good Life and Other Philosophical Essays on Human Nature

Dr. Craig studied liberal arts, chemistry, and philosophy at Colgate University, graduated from Northwestern Medical School, and spent his 38 years of medical practice, teaching, and research at Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine. He was recognized for his academic, scholarly, and clinical abilities. Deriving much of his interest in philosophy during his years at Colgate, he continued his philosophical studies throughout his medical career. His philosophic wisdom has been enhanced deeply by his interactions in his professional life. Since being an Emeritus Professor of Medicine, he has written the philosophical essays published here. The essays are couched in the great Greek intellectual tradition, especially Aristotle and Socrates.
