A.B. Stonehill College S.T.B. Gregorian University S.T.L. Gregorian University M.A. Columbia Ph.D. Brandeis University Psy.D. Massachusetts School of Professional Psychology Research Interests: The history of the human mind is Professor Clark's interest. The specific aspect of this history that engages him is how cultures have understood the mind and how they constructed reality on the basis of this understanding. No aspect of human life is free of the implications contained in a culture's symbolic system. Specifically, he is interested in the history of epistemology and its impact on the development of Christian theology, especially the notion of grace. In teaching Ancient Mediterranean and early European Cultures from the early Middle Ages to the beginning of the Enlightenment, he focuses on their theocratic character. In teaching Civilizations, he traces it ontotheological foundation and the ideologies this concept of reality spawned in the West to the detriment of other cultures. He is interested in psychoanalysis and its appreciation of history as the basis of human identity. Professor Clark also teaches in the department of Religious Studies.
