WHAT IS THIS EXISTENTIAL AUTHOR UP TO?

James R. Fisher, Jr., Ph.D.

Copyright July 19, 2022

This anthology covers the life and thoughts of the author, born during The Great Depression when Hitler was coming to power covering events in his life over nine decades from his early years with no knowledge of his parents until five years old, then growing up in his preteens during World War Two in the middle of the 20th century in the middle of the United States in the middle of an industrial Mississippi River community on the eastern crescent of the State of Iowa “In the Shadow of the Courthouse” (2003).

From his earliest memory, he recorded his sense of things having been born on the wrong side of the tracks, however rising in position and power through institutional life but never joining the club. Having no special allegiance, he has written more than a score of books over the last several decades on the changing morality and mind of the times seeing an increasing societal imbalance between passion and reason resulting in a rudderless existence apparent in our corporate-dominated media culture of politics, religion, education, the military, and scientific community.


Dr. Fisher is looking for a home for his existential writing in a university library.  Dealing with the culture of his times,  he sees it in transition with the new religion, Technology, its movers and shakers the new priesthood of this corporate society.

He confronts this chaos primarily in terms of work, workers, and the workplace differing from others who view this in terms of perception. He sees the human condition today as an ontology in existential philosophical terms, or through the science of “what is,” or reality. He is aware he may be seen as an upstart and of no consequence while taking existential angst and turning it into an art and truth forum!
