Biography

Kronman received his B.A. degree from Williams College in 1968, Ph.D. (Philosophy) from Yale University in 1972, and J.D. degree from Yale Law School in 1975. He was an editor of Yale Law Journal when he studied at Yale Law School. He taught at the University of Minnesota Law School from 1975 to 1976, and the University of Chicago Law School from 1976 to 1978, before joining the Yale faculty.[1]

He recently published a book, Education's End, which is a summary of the disarray of the U.S. higher education system especially in regard to the question of the meaning of life.[2]

His next book, to be published in October 2016, is entitled Confessions of a Born Again Pagan, which reconciles faith with the modern world in an attempt to define a more comprehensive and humanistic spirituality.
