Dr. Louis Groarke (Philosophy) has a BA (in art history) from Colorado State University and a MA and PhD (in philosophy) from the University of Waterloo.  He has published on ethics, politics, aesthetics, philosophy of religion, argumentation theory, and philosophy of science. He has a particular interest in Aristotle and the ancient Greeks. Books include: The Good Rebel (2001), An Aristotelian Account of Induction (2010), and Moral Reasoning (2011) and Living Wisely (forthcoming).  Professor Groarke sees Catholic Studies as an integral component of a broader approach to liberal arts education. The Judeo-Christian tradition formulates answers to philosophical, theological, moral, political and even artistic questions in a unique way that deserves close scrutiny. Focusing on Catholicism and on challenges to Catholicism provides for a useful and challenging course of study. 

Fields of expertise: Ethics, Applied Ethics, Political Philosophy, Aesthetics, Argumentation Theory, History of Philosophy, Aristotle.
