Born in a sanatorium, raised in six foster homes, finally tutored in self-respect by a Quaker grandmother and Lafayette College, George Fouke, after nine positive years in business, earned a Master of Arts at the University of Pennsylvania and a Ph.D. at the University of Colorado, where he studied and taught interdisciplinary studies. He later became a professor of Interdisciplinary Studies and Chairman of the Department of Politics at St. Andrews Presbyterian College in Laurinburg, North Carolina. Dr. Fouke specializes in AT — Architectonic Thinking — which includes both micro and macro approaches but goes beyond them to explore man’s linkage with the Universe in both its secular (scientific) and spiritual (faith) dimensions.

Dr. Fouke regularly speaks on the simultaneous birth of Christianity and Rabbinic Judaism out of the ashes of Jerusalem in a talk he titles, “The Temple in the Time of Jesus and Hillel.” He’s had several articles on his favorite novelist published in The Thomas Wolfe Review, and is particularly interested in the idolization of Wolfe by the young Jack Kerouac. Fouke has two living children, three step-children, eleven grandchildren (four of whom will soon be first time voters in a presidential election) and three great-grandchildren. He writes from the perspective of having been raised by both Republicans and Democrats and from having been “tutored” by six different denominational world views. Fouke lives in the Space Coast area of Florida near nine of his grandchildren and writes from the Tree House at Bat Cave, North Carolina.
