(2012) Philosophical faith and the future of humanity, Dordrecht, Springer.
In this Interview with George B. Pepper, co-founder of the Karl Jaspers Society of North America, Gregory J. Walters explores the role that Jaspers' philosophy played in George B. Pepper's teaching career at Iona College, New Rochelle, New York, his recollections surrounding the origin of the Karl Jaspers Society of North America, formative philosophical influences on his thinking (Socrates, Augustine, Galileo Galilei, Giordano Bruno, Dietrich von Hildebrand, Robert Pollock, and Hannah Arendt), distinction and relations between philosophy and religion, the Holocaust, Jewish-Christian-Muslim relations, and the Boston heresy case involving Rev. Leonard Edward Feeney. For Pepper, a key challenge related to faith and the future of humanity is communication across boundaries without deception and invasion.
