Gregory R. Beabout

Gregory R. Beabout serves as Professor in the Department of Philosophy within Saint Louis University's College of Arts and Sciences, where his work bridges historical philosophical traditions with contemporary ethical applications in professional contexts.

• Ph.D. from Marquette University (1988)

His research centers on Ethics, Kierkegaard studies, Personalism, and Catholic Social Thought, with emphasis on applying virtue ethics and personalist frameworks to business leadership and professional conduct. This interdisciplinary approach connects existential philosophy with practical moral decision-making in organizational settings.

Scholarly publications spanning 1994-2013 reveal consistent thematic focus: Virtue-based management stewardship, Kierkegaardian analyses of freedom/anxiety, and Catholic social teaching applications. Key trends include translating abstract philosophical concepts into actionable business ethics frameworks and exploring the intersection of religious thought with professional responsibility.
