6Sedentary and Nomadic SpacesIn John Murungi & Linda Ardito (eds.), Home - Lived Experiences: Philosophical Reflections, Springer Verlag. pp. 1-8. 2021.With Martin Heidegger and Emmanuel Levinas, I show that a home does not have the ontological structure of objects; it is a fixed point that makes possible the perceived and employed map of the paths, objectives, implements and obstacles of the environment. It is also a space closed to the trafficking of the outside environment. It is also a place of welcome, where we, Heidegger says, welcome earth and skies, fellow mortals and harbingers of the sacred, where we, Levinas says, welcome kin and str…Read more

3Pursued, Besieged by CoronavirusIn John Murungi & Linda Ardito (eds.), Home - Lived Experiences: Philosophical Reflections, Springer Verlag. pp. 177-179. 2021.People in isolation or quarantine, and people confined in nursing homes, insane asylums, prisons, and refugee camps are cut off from the outside world, where the coronavirus invisibly drifts. It besieges our homes. And the virus invades, through heating ducts and on packages delivered. Our home is no longer a refuge of rest, tranquility, substance, and sustenance, no longer the place of hospitality. And the coronavirus pursues the homeless, sleeping in municipal shelters or under bridges and ove…Read more

13Sensation: Intelligibility in SensibilityHumanity Books. 1996.Lingis contests holistic conceptions of phenomenology and existential philosophy, and he refutes the primacy of perception and the practicable world. By contrast, he seeks to elucidate the substantive body. He shows that in contact with other sentient beings, an imperative that is addressed to us precedes and makes possible their capacity to order us with the meanings of their words and gestures. Written in clear, vivid language free of all unnecessary technical jargon.
