I’m back after another vacation, lol. Actually, I have been working very hard on completing a novel in six months (begun in early November with its projected completion date in early May).
To help with the costs of publication and promotion, I’ve joined Patreon, or Patreon.com to raise money. (Just getting an ISBN # of the right kind will cost $99.)
For full details, and potential rewards which include free books but possibly donations to worthy causes when I have the money, please go to my page on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/stevenyates.
Thank you, and I’ll be back with more philosophical writing and commentary as soon as time permits!
About Steven Yates
I have a Ph.D. in Philosophy, taught the subject at a number of universities around the American Southeast, then became disillusioned in the profession, moved to Chile in 2012. I am the author of Civil Wrongs: What Went Wrong With Affirmative Action (1994), Four Cardinal Errors: Reasons for the Decline of the American Republic (2011), What Should Philosophy Do? A Theory (2021), and most recently, So You Want to Get a PhD in Philosophy? (2025). I've also published around two dozen articles & reviews in academic journals, and hundreds online on numerous topics ranging from pure philosophy to political economy. My Substack publication is Navigating the New Normal. I currently live near Concepcion, Chile, with my wife Gisela and our two spoiled cats.
