Paul Blaschko
I’m a philosopher. I write and speak about work, meaning, and the good life.
I taught philosophy at Notre Dame for thirteen years, where I founded the Sheedy Family Program and helped create God and the Good Life. My new book, Worklife: A Philosophical Guide, is coming from Princeton University Press in June 2027.
