Jonathan Lear is the John U. Nef Distinguished Service Professor in the Committee on Social Thought and the Department of Philosophy at the University of Chicago. He is the author of several books, including “Radical Hope” (2006) and most recently, “Wisdom Won From Illness: Essays in Philosophy and Psychoanalysis” (2017).
