Professor Friedman explores the rich tapestry of our humanness as we strive to find meaning in our experiences, even in the midst of the evil and death that threaten to put an end to it all. This struggle is vividly captured in literary and poetic works that epitomise what Friedman describes as our effort to hold the tension between affirming where we can affirm and withstanding where we must withstand.
Maurice S. Friedman is professor emeritus of religious studies, philosophy, and comparative literature at San Diego State Uniersity and co-director of the Institute for Dialogical Psychotherapy in San Diego. He has authored over twenty books of literary criticism, psychology, philosophy, and religion.
