Hello Dr. Ed Cohen, thank you for joining The middle Road platform.

First, Ed lets first understand the term Psychagogue. I loved the way you have described the term in your LinkedIn profile. How is psychagogue different from pedagogy?

Q). Your life is motivating people to learn how to succeed and triumph measurably despite setbacks. At a young age, you were diagnosed with Crohn’s disease. Crohn’s is an autoimmune chronic inflammatory bowel disease that can sometimes cause life-threatening complications. You mentioned in your introduction (reference your website) that Crohn developed self-reflection and self-care within you that helped you flourish not despite but because of your illness. This is a proactive and positive attitude. Please speak about your self-awareness journey at an early age and how it has shaped you as a person.

Today I welcome a guest who suffers from an incurable ailment yet developed self-reflection and self-care that helps him to flourish not despite but because of his illness. Welcome, Dr. Ed Cohen, a Professor at Rutgers University and a Psychagogue at Healing Counsel, a therapeutic practice for healing. An accomplished author, Ed’s recent book On Learning to Heal or What Medicine Doesn’t Know talks draws on fifty years of living with Crohn’s to consider how Western medicine’s turn from an “art of healing” toward a “science of medicine” deeply affects both medical practitioners and their patients. With this book, Cohen advocates reviving healing’s role for all those whose lives are touched by illness. His other books are A Body Worth Defending: “Immunity,” Biopolitics, and the Apotheosis of the Modern Body and Talk on the Wilde Side: Towards a Genealogy of a Discourse on Male Sexualities.

✓ You can speak here about your intellectual guru and hero – a historian, philosopher, and literary critic Michel Foucault and his influence on your thinking. Which of his books or publications would you recommend to the audience you would like to know more about Foucault?

Q). You have a rich academic experience. A spectacular achievement. Modern Thought is an esoteric topic, kindly enunciate more about the subject. You can take the context of your academic work at Rutgers University.
✓ How can Modern Thought philosophy be helpful as a tool for women’s empowerment and gender equality?
