Leonard Angel is a daily meditator, a World Federalist, a philosopher of science, and a mystic. Some say his most notable remark is "Roses are red, violets are blue. I am the universe. And so are you." Others prefer his remarks on how Newtonian collision mechanics allows particles to interact at a distance (as found in British Journal for Philosophy of Science, 2001: 347-358). Others prefer his plan for a treaty for global sustainability restricting to trade to the renewable resources of the planet.

Leonard Angel received a B.A. from McGill, and an M.A. in Philosophy, an M.A. in Creative Writing and Theatre and a Ph.D. in Philosophy from the University of British Columbia.
