Another year.December 2, 2025, is the publication date of Two Philosophers: Aristotle and Ayn Rand, edited by James G. Lennox and Gregory Salmieri. Thank you for everything you did to bring forward the study of these two philosophers. With unfading memories, Shoshana

You are missed, always, and the upcoming book on Aristotle and Ayn Rand, in the Pitt series, is one that is inspired by your mind, work, and life. I wish you were here to see it. Shoshana Milgram

You are unforgettable, Allan, and in spite of all that those you inspired have accomplished, you are indeed irreplaceable. Warmly, Shoshana Milgram

Allan was never above offering expert guidance to an inquisitive autodidact.

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

Allan was a generous presence in so many ways: friend, colleague, and inspiring guide to find out how it makes sense to think - not only about Aristotle.

I am recalling the intellectual contribution given to me by this astute man with respect to my understanding of Greek concepts and language before Aristotle.

As fine a philosopher that ever led a life well-lived. I did not know Allan Gotthelf well, but I attended a few conferences and his lectures and spoke briefly with him afterwards. And I enjoyed some of his writings, including posts on HBL. What struck me most about him was his lack of pretentiousness and intellectual accomplishments. It is our good fortune that he leaves us a great intellectual legacy.

Thank you Allan for showing the world how it is done!
