64Discourse, Dialectic, and the Art of WeavingEpoché: A Journal for the History of Philosophy 13 (2): 291-298. 2009.This paper explores the way in which the art of weaving, as it is initially presented in Plato’s Statesman, serves to configure both the fundamental character ofdiscourse and the limit experience of discourse for Plato.

4The Ethics (Ethos) of HistoryJournal of Philosophical Investigations 9 (17): 117-136. 2015.This paper provides a critical analysis of Heidegger’s brief remarks in his “Letter on Humanism” in which he links ethics to ethos and ultimately to our relation to time and history. Central to this analysis is the phrase of Heraclitus, ēthos anthrōpōi daimōn, from which Heidegger claims that human living (ethos) is inseparable from the event of appropriation (Ereignis) which generates our historical destiny. Through further analysis that draws from the work of Jean-Luc Nancy and Giorgio Agamben…Read more
