Dr. Panagiotis N. Chiotis was born in 1956 in Pigadi Kynourias, Arcadia. He attended secondary school in Leonidio and Athens, and in 1978, he left for university studies in the United States. In 1982, he graduated from Hofstra University in New York with a double Bachelor’s degree in Political Science and Economics. In 1984, he was awarded a Master of Arts degree in Political Science from CUNY, New York, and in February 1985, he earned a Master of Arts in Economics from the same university. From 1986 to 1991, he pursued doctoral-level courses at Fordham University in New York, specializing in Political Philosophy, and wrote his dissertation titled "The Tradition of Enlightenment in Greece: The Case of A. Korais and E. Papanoutsos." He was awarded his doctorate from Fordham University in April 1991. After returning to Greece in 1991, he engaged in further research and prepared his second work titled "Education, Ideology, and Politics in Modern Greece: An Introduction." Throughout 1995, he was a visitor in his wife's homeland, Australia, where he conducted postdoctoral research at the School of Philosophy at the University of Sydney on the thought of K. Castoriadis, with the aim of publishing a critical study. He was preparing a new work titled "A Critical Philosophical Approach to Economic Thought," but unfortunately, it was not published as he passed away in April 1998.
