Gregory Sadler's Journey into Philosophy

Gregory Sadler shares his unexpected path into the study of philosophy, which began with minimal academic motivation during his high school years. Initially aiming for a military career, he realized the challenges of earning a living without higher education, propelling him toward college. His early experiences in philosophy classes were mixed, with a disinteresting official class contrasted by an engaging course led by an enthusiastic teacher focusing on St. Augustine and other philosophers. This combination of stumbling into classes and genuine interest ultimately guided Sadler to declare philosophy as his major, setting the foundation for his future in academia.
