About the Author

Kenneth Grant Butler was born in Ottawa, Ontario Canada in 1941. It was there he secured his undergraduate degree in English and History from St. Patrick's College, then his graduate degrees, an MA and Ph.D. from the University of Ottawa and finally an L.Ph. from St. Paul's.

He taught and published in the areas of Epistemology, Logic and History of Philosophy during his teaching career at the University of Prince Edward Island.

His sabbaticals took him to UCLA, Mexico, Central America, as well as London, Amsterdam, and Rome.

He has two sons, Sean and Pierce. As a free and happy fellow, he lives on his boat these days and visits faraway lands.
