The successful television writer, producer and series creator – whose other credits include “The Office,” “Parks and Recreation,” “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” – revealed that he had been “dabbling in philosophy as a rank amateur for about ten years” and said he was in awe of our graduates’ decision to pursue a degree in philosophy.
