29Heidegger in the Twenty-First Century (edited book)Springer. 2015.Responsibility has traditionally been associated with a project of appropriation, understood as the securing of a sphere of mastery for a willful subject, and enframed in a metaphysics of will, causality and subjectivity. In that tradition, responsibility is understood in terms of the subjectum that lies at the basis of the act, as ground of imputation, and opens onto the project of a self-legislation and self-appropriation of the subject. However, one finds in Heidegger and Derrida the reversal…Read more

144Conscious thinking and cognitive phenomenology: topics, views and future developmentsPhilosophical Explorations 19 (2): 95-113. 2016.This introduction presents a state of the art of philosophical research on cognitive phenomenology and its relation to the nature of conscious thinking more generally. We firstly introduce the question of cognitive phenomenology, the motivation for the debate, and situate the discussion within the fields of philosophy, cognitive psychology and consciousness studies. Secondly, we review the main research on the question, which we argue has so far situated the cognitive phenomenology debate around…Read more

4Medieval Philosophy of ReligionAcumen Publishing. 2013.Volume 2 covers one of the richest eras for the philosophical study of religion. Covering the period from the 6th century to the Renaissance, this volume shows how Christian, Islamic and Jewish thinkers explicated and defended their religious faith in light of the philosophical traditions they inherited from the ancient Greeks and Romans.

39Husserl and Ricoeur: The Influence of Phenomenology on the Formation of Ricoeur’s Hermeneutics of the ‘Capable Human’Journal of French and Francophone Philosophy 25 (1): 182-199. 2017.The phenomenology of Edmund Husserl had a permanent and profound impact on the philosophical formation of Paul Ricoeur. One could truly say, paraphrasing Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s brilliant 1959 essay ‘The Philosopher and his Shadow’,that Husserl is the philosopher in whose shadow Ricoeur, like Merleau-Ponty, also stands, the thinker to whom he constantly returns. Husserl is Ricoeur’s philosopher of reflection, par excellence. Indeed, Ricoeur always invokes Husserl when he is discussing a paradigm…Read more

21A Case for Philosophical Pluralism: The Problem of IntentionalityRoyal Institute of Philosophy Supplement 40 19-32. 1996.In what sense can we speak of pluralism regarding the philosophical traditions or styles crudely characterised as ‘Continental’ and ‘Analytic’?

15Eriugena (review)Review of Metaphysics 44 (1): 156-157. 1990.This is an informative book dealing with a little known philosopher, Johannes Scottus Eriugena. In his first chapter O'Meara gives a succinct yet scholarly account of the historical context of Eriugena's writings--ninth-century Ireland and France. In particular O'Meara stresses that in that century there is abundant evidence that the Irish knew Greek and certainly the groundwork of Eriugena's later knowledge of Greek, evidenced in his translation of Pseudo-Dionysius, could have been laid in the …Read more
