    Self and other: from pure ego to co-constituted we
    Continental Philosophy Review 48 (2): 143-160. 2015.
    In recent years, the social dimensions of selfhood have been discussed widely. Can you be a self on your own or only together with others? Is selfhood a built-in feature of experience or rather socially constructed? Does a strong emphasis on the first-personal character of consciousness prohibit a satisfactory account of intersubjectivity or is the former rather a necessary requirement for the latter? These questions are explored in the following contribution

    Empathy and Direct Social Perception: A Phenomenological Proposal (review)
    Review of Philosophy and Psychology 2 (3): 541-558. 2011.

Within the last couple of years, a number of ST and TT proponents have started to react and respond to what one for the sake of simplicity might call the phenomenologi…Read more
