About The Books
Theoretically Dead
In the winter of 1991, scholars from all over the nation converged on little Hammond, Iowa, to celebrate the work of the distinguished yet reclusive philosopher Erik Weber. Claire Sincliar was not among them. As an economics professor, she thought philosophy conferences were quite boring and had only agreed to attend a few social events to support her partner, Emma, the conference organizer. But when Claire came across Weber’s body on an icy sidewalk just before the opening dinner, it was hard to stay uninvolved. As a scholar, Erik Weber was widely admired; as a human being, not so much.
