19Introduction: Phenomenological approaches to Tove Jansson’s fictionSATS 19 (1): 1-4. 2018.This article investigates the emotional undercurrents of Tove Jansson’s Moominvalley in November. I argue that one of the main characters of Jansson’s book is the autumn forest that surrounds the abandoned Moomin house.

I further demonstrate that the emotion of disgust h…Read more

18Objectification, Inferiorization and Projection in Phenomenological Research on DehumanizationIn Maria Kronfeldner (ed.), Routledge Handbook of Dehumanization, Routledge. pp. 309-325. 2021.Sara Heinämaa and James Jardine demonstrate that both classical and existential phenomenology offer analytical concepts that are of crucial pertinence and value to contemporary dehumanization research. They begin by outlining an account of dehumanization that distinguishes this phenomenon both from the general operation of objectification and from the violation of autonomy. What is essential to dehumanizing acts and practices they argue, is not objectification or the violation of autonomy per se…Read more

15Phenomenology and the Transcendental (edited book)Routledge. 2014.The aim of this volume is to offer an updated account of the transcendental character of phenomenology. The main question concerns the sense and relevance of transcendental philosophy today: What can such philosophy contribute to contemporary inquiries and debates after the many reasoned attacks against its idealistic, aprioristic, absolutist and universalistic tendencies—voiced most vigorously by late 20th century postmodern thinkers—as well as attacks against its apparently circular arguments …Read more
