Celia Wolf-Devine

Celia Wolf-Devine is a retired philosophy professor. She has a BA from Smith College. Trained in Early Modern Philosophy at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, she then branched out to do philosophical work on social philosophy,and gender issues (See Sex and Gender: A Spectrum of Views which she edited with Philip Devine). She is something of a maverick who at home neither with red state or blue state culture and tries to think her way through issues carefully and consistently. This makes her feel rather homeless and frustrated in the current world.

Most recently she has felt drawn to write on prayer in a practical sort of way, emerging largely out of her own prayer life rather than in a scholarly or historical way. She has another book in the works, entitled "The Hungry Heart: Reflections on Desire,' and continues to do hard core philosophy -- philosophy of perception -- just to keep her mind active.
