John Bagby

John (Jack) Bagby is an Assistant Professor at the School of Consciousness and Transformation, California Institute of Integral Studies. He holds a PhD in philosophy from Boston College and a B.A. in philosophy and ancient Greek language from Pennsylvania State University.

His research spans phenomenology, process philosophy, philosophy of music, and the evolution of consciousness, with particular focus on Aristotle, Bergson, and Spinoza. Bagby explores how philosophical frameworks intersect with ecological awareness and transdisciplinary methodologies.

His publications demonstrate a consistent focus on reconstructing historical philosophical arguments—especially concerning temporality, psychical activity, and ethics—while developing integrative approaches to contemporary philosophical questions.
