Porous to the Infinite: William Desmond’s Radical Openness

William Desmond is an Irish philosopher and poet whose work spans metaphysics, ethics, aesthetics, and philosophy of religion with rare breadth and lyric intensity. Desmond earned his B.A. and M.A. from University College, Cork, in 1972 and 1974; Ph.D. from Pennsylvania State University in 1978. A former president of the Hegel Society of America (1990–1992) and the Metaphysical Society of America (1995), Desmond is professor of philosophy at the Higher Institute of Philosophy at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in Belgium, and also at Villanova University in Pennsylvania. He is a past president of the American Catholic Philosophical Association. Desmond is also a poet, and his verse is marked by an abiding attentiveness to what surprises, unsettles, and breaks through—from suffering and beauty to ethical responsibility and divine presence.
