According to The Washington Post:
At the nadir of his presidency, George W. Bush is looking for answers. One at a time or in small groups, he summons leading authors, historians, philosophers and theologians to the White House to join him in the search.
Over sodas and sparkling water, he asks his questions: What is the nature of good and evil in the post-Sept. 11 world? What lessons does history have for a president facing the turmoil I'm facing? How will history judge what we've done? Why does the rest of the world seem to hate America? Or is it just me they hate?
Bearing in mind that the media use the term "philosophers" rather loosely (so, e.g., Leo Strauss and Jacques Derrida are deemed "philosophers"), who in the world could he be consulting? And if any of the leading philosophers he has consulted are readers, please give us your impressions!
