This email reminded me from moral psychology and for those that like CS Lewis (the author of Lion, Witch and Wardrobe and best friend of JR Tolkien of Lord of Rings fame)- I had sent this C.S. Lewis talk on the inner ring to my son when he graduated SMU- CS Lewis’s talk to the Kings College Graduation class at the end of WWII on “The Inner Ring.” It is to the graduating class preparing to rebuild England after the war (which would have been all male), with that caveat, the advice is timeless…some things are universal, including for doctoral scholars, everyone feels the same way at some point I think. Has some funny Freud quotes- who would have passed away in 1939 at the start of the war. And as he says- I think I am also turning into a middle age moralist as well.
