Doris Olin

Doris Olin, who taught philosophy at York University's Glendon College, was a tremendously gifted thinker and scholar. When I was at Glendon, I took as many classes from her as I could arrange. I kept my final term paper on Pascal's Wager for many decades just so that I wouldn't forget our conversations and debates. Her teaching of symbolic logic and paradoxes permanently changed my way of thinking and reasoning, and was an important factor in my decision to apply to law school. I have no doubt that she made a similar impact on many other students who also remember her with respect and affection.
