John Brentlinger, who died in 2007, was a political activist and professor emeritus of Philosophy at UMass Amherst. His first book, “The Symposium of Plato,” published in 1970 and illustrated by Leonard Baskin, continues to be regarded as an important contribution to the field of philosophy. He was profoundly influenced by the 1960s and’70s, a period of intensive political and cultural transformation that shaped his political maturity. During those years he turned to the left, becoming a socialist, a Marxist philosopher and an activist. In 1973, he and his Philosophy Department colleague Ann Ferguson were among the co-founders of the Socialist/Feminist Philosophers Association (SOFPHIA), a national network of progressive philosophers. In the early 1980s, he was inspired by land rescuers in Puerto Rico, documenting their struggle in this book “Villa Sin Miedo: Presente!” It was during that era that he was also introduced to the Sandinista revolution in Nicaragua. Hard to find book and scarce signed.
