Abstract

George Francis McLean is a philosopher in the service of humanity. At present he holds the titles of Professor Emeritus at the School of Philosophy of The Catholic University of America (CUA) in Washington, D.C., and Director of the Centre for Culture and Values.Yet anyone who knows him knows that this says only a small part of who he is. Over the years, McLean has been a scholar and a teacher, but most importantly he has worked to democratize philosophy – promoting the research of philosophers coming from many different cultural traditions, and publishing the academic work of teams of scholars from countries and regions around the globe.
