Hello visitor, ​I am J. Hugh Hunter. Here's what you need to know.

"History is philosophy from examples."

Dionysius of Halicarnassus, Ars Rhetorica


I blog about education, culture, philosophy and (sometimes) religion at philosophyfromexamples.com

I have worked for the Canadian federal government in various capacities for more than four years. 

I've done lots of things, but the thread that ties them all together is communication. I can take something complicated and make it simple and easy to understand, whether in writing, through images or video, or through dynamic presentations.

Find me on LinkedIn.​

I have worked as an educator for over a decade, teaching at seven universities. I taught courses in philosophy and communication. ​

Here are some textbooks and other educational materials I've created. 

Fill yer boots. 

I've been lucky enough to study philosophy all over the world. ​​​​​Here are some details about my studies.

And now for some stuff I've written:​
​

• A Sherlock Holmes story with a philosophical twist
• A story about a Quebec village
• An essay about a forgotten 18th century poet
• An essay about George Berkeley's final, alchemical work
