Beloved faculty bid Whitman farewell – David H. Carey
Credit: Wheeler
Professor David Carey began teaching at Whitman in 1989 and has been an active member of the Philosophy Department for the past 20 years, serving as department chair twice. He received his B.A. from St. John’s College, two masters’ degrees in theology and philosophy and a Ph.D. in philosophy from the University of Pittsburgh.
Carey has taught courses in Ethics, Social and Political Philosophy, Medieval Philosophy, Plato’s Republic and Values, while dedicating himself to the Antiquity and Modernity curriculum. He received the Thomas D. Howells Award for Distinguished Humanities Teaching in 1996.
His published works include Chaucer’s Church (2002), with co-author Edward Forster, and “The Social Mortgage of Intellectual Property (2007).
For Carey, life after Whitman will be all about relaxing for awhile.
“I have a large stack of books I want to read,” he said. “Otherwise, like Ambassador Crocker, my plan is to have no plan, no schedule, for a while. Then re-focus on my next big project, whatever that is.”
