Description
The essays collected here honor and celebrate our friend, colleague, and teacher, Louis Midgley. Many of us know him from his time at BYU, where he taught political philosophy in the Political Science Department. But he was a great friend and mentor, and his influence extended well beyond the campus. In my own case, after I left BYU to pursue graduate studies in philosophy, Lou made sure to keep in touch with me, helping me to negotiate the obstacles one encounters in graduate school, asking about my family, as well as sharing lessons and spiritual experiences in order to keep me grounded. I know I was not the only one that Lou did this for. In this introduction I want to develop a few themes that helped me to understand him and why he was such an important influence in my life and the lives of so many others. I hope that his friends and colleagues will forgive the personal nature of what I share here and recognize these same things in their experiences with him. He is simply a large presence in our lives, and justifiably so.
