Christopher S. Morrissey is a professor of Philosophy
at Redeemer Pacific College, the Catholic liberal arts college at Trinity
Western University in Langley, British Columbia, where he also teaches
courses in the Latin language and in Greek and Roman history. He studied
Greek and Latin at the University of British Columbia and has taught
courses in these languages and in other classical subjects at Simon
Fraser University. Morrissey specializes in philosophical theology and
his recent focus has been on its genesis in the monotheistic speculations
of Hesiod
and Plato.
He has also published on the mediaeval Latin philosophy of Thomas
Aquinas and his commentatorial tradition, which includes John
Poinsot, a.k.a. "John of St. Thomas", from whom we may
trace a foundational doctrine of signs for the interdisciplinary field
of semiotics. Morrissey’s current research explores how Eric
Voegelin’s philosophical studies of the historical processes
of symbolization complement the pioneering interdisciplinary work by
the semiotician and linguist Thomas
Albert Sebeok towards a global semiotics.
