After taking her first course in logic, she was hooked. She graduated first in her class from Newcomb College and immediately began her graduate studies at Tulane. Fueled by determination, discipline, and unquestionable brilliance, she completed her bachelor&#8217;s, master&#8217;s, and doctorate programs in Philosophy in just four and a half years, all while raising two young children at home.<\/p>\n<p>Rosenthal was such a remarkable teacher that she served as the Provost Distinguished Professor of Philosophy and became the University&#8217;s first ever female tenured full professor. Over the course of her esteemed and accomplished career, Sandra published 12 books and more than 150 scholarly articles, including the internationally acclaimed book Speculative Pragmatism. She also served as president of the Society for the Advancement of American Philosophy and was invited to give lectures in cities across the United States and around the world, including Beijing, Moscow, Rome, Helsinki, Berlin, Vienna, Istanbul, and Sao Paolo.<\/p>\n<p>After losing her first husband when she was just 54, she met and married business ethics professor Rogene Buchholz, with whom she enjoyed more than 30 years of travel, hiking, professional collaboration, and loving companionship. She loved great red wine, whodunnits, and gathering with four generations of family over Thanksgiving dinner every year.<\/p>\n<p>Rosenthal is survived by her husband, Rogene; her son Stephen (Sandy) Rosenthal; her daughter Leslie (Scott) Jacobs; five grandchildren; and six great-grandchildren.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A celebration of her life was held this morning, Sunday, July 28, at Temple Sinai at 10 a.m. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations are suggested to <a href=\"https:\/\/spark.loyno.edu\/tribute\">Loyola University&#8217;s General Scholarship Fund in honor of Sandra Brener Rosenthal<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_toolbar\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/share-medium.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top: 5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/share-medium.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top: 5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/noscript><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_t=new Array(\"Twitter\",\"Facebook\",\"Google Plus\",\"Pinterest\",\"Linkedin\",\"Tumblr\",\"Email\");var hupso_background_t=\"#EAF4FF\";var hupso_border_t=\"#66CCFF\";var hupso_toolbar_size_t=\"medium\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_url_t=\"\";var hupso_title_t=\"Philosophy%20professor%20Sandra%20Brener%20Rosenthal%20is%20laid%20to%20rest%20today\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/share_toolbar.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[8790,8795,4196,8788,13909],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/82259"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=82259"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/82259\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":82261,"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/82259\/revisions\/82261"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=82259"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=82259"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=82259"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
