Lisa M. Dolling received her Bachelor's degree in philosophy from
Manhattanville College, where she minored in English and French
literature. After earning a certificate of completion cum
laude from the Higher Institute of Philosophy in Louvain, Belgium,
she received her M.A. in philosophy from Fordham University. After a
year of studying comparative literature on fellowship at NYU, she went
on to complete her Ph.D. in philosophy at the Graduate Center of the
City University of New York where she had the honor and pleasure of
studying with Marx W. Wartofsky who served as her dissertation
director and mentor.
Professor Dolling wrote her dissertation on the philosophical writings
of quantum physicist Niels Bohr, a work she is revising and expanding
for publication. In addition to her specialty in the philosophy of
science, her main interests are hermeneutics, aesthetics, feminism,
women philosophers, the philosophy of literature, and the philosophy
of education. Her publications include the book The Tests of Time:
Readings in the Development of Physical Theory (Princeton
University Press) as well as articles on Hermeneutics, Epistemology,
and the philosophers Hans-Georg Gadamer, Karl Jaspers, Edith Stein and
Ayn Rand. She is currently writing about the similarities between
science and aesthetics, as well as researching a book-length project
that examines the work of 19th century ecologist, linguist, and
polymath George Perkins Marsh.
Professor Dolling comes to Stevens from St. John's University, where
in addition to teaching philosophy, she served as Executive Director
of the University Honors Program, Director of the Women's Studies
Program and Coordinator of the Science and Religion project. In
addition to her dream of writing the next "Critique of Pure Reason,"
Professor Dolling's aspirations include learning to cook like Jacques
Pepin and play the blues like Eric Clapton.
