David Kolb (born 1939[1]) is an American philosopher and the Charles A. Dana Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at Bates College in Maine.

"[2] Most of Kolb's writing deals with "what it means to live with historical connections and traditions at a time when we can no longer be totally defined by that history."

Professor Kolb taught at the University of Chicago before moving to Bates in 1977 and teaching there until 2005, when he took emeritus status.

His work, Socrates in the Labyrinth: Hypertext, Argument, Philosophy, 1994 from Eastgate Systems is a philosophical work in five files (title, Habermas Pyramid, Earth Orbit, Cleavings, and Aristotle’s Argument).

As Dene Grigar notes, this reimagined web version maintains the original random elements within the hypertext structure and takes advantage of web elements to also randomize the interface for a further representation of this experimental approach.
