BIO
Samuel Loncar received his Ph.D. from Yale University in 2019 and specializes in philosophy and its connection to religion, science, and the acceleration of knowledge in the digital age. Samuel is the Editor of the Marginalia Review of Books and the founder and creator of the Becoming Human Project, a multi-media project to bring philosophy as a way of life to everyone and build a community of creators seeking a more meaningful life.

Born in Athens, Greece, Samuel’s ancestors’ give him global roots: in Okinawa, Japan, among the Chippewa (or Ojibwe) people, and in Eastern Europe.

Samuel’s diverse background motivated his search for a truth that would respect his upbringing but answer his hardest questions, leading him to discover, at age 14, an ancient philosophy text that converted him to philosophy as a way of life.
