George Englebretsen (retired) did both undergraduate and graduate work in Nebraska prior to taking up an appointment at Bishop's University in the late 1960's. Since that time, the core of his work in eight books and well over one hundred articles has been development of a new system of logic. His philosophical interests, however, range over the entire history of philosophy. He retired in 2007 but continues teaching and research as if he hadn't.
