Applying the concepts and methods of phenomenology, an international team of contributors explore mindfulness from a variety of different viewpoints and traditions. The handbook's thirty-four chapters are divided into seven clear par…Read more

    Heidegger on Technology (edited book)
    Routledge. 2018.
    This collection offers the first comprehensive and definitive account of Martin Heidegger’s philosophy of technology. It does so through a detailed analysis of canonical texts and recently published primary sources on two crucial concepts in Heidegger’s later thought: _Gelassenheit _and _Gestell_. _Gelassenheit_, translated as ‘releasement’, and _Gestell_, often translated as ‘enframing’ or ‘positionality’, stand as opposing ideas in Heidegger’s work whereby the meditative thinking of _Gelassenh…Read more

    This chapter re-examines Heidegger’s analysis of moods in Being and Time against the backdrop of his famous 1929 inaugural lecture (‘What Is Metaphysics?’) and his 1940s retrospectives on the same lecture along with some related discussions in his 1935 lecture course—Introduction to Metaphysics. The chapter argues that Heidegger’s major concern in his early account of moods is best understood as an attempt to identify the role that absence plays in Dasein’s barest affective states which testify …Read more

    Phenomenology is a method that aims to ground its findings in evidence, so as to counter metaphysics. This chapter argues that an important aspect of Being and Time is to radicalize the basic concept of evidence that is operative in Husserlian phenomenology, conceived in terms of apodictic certainty, which commits Husserl to mentalist evidentialism. Heidegger overcomes mentalist evidentialism and relaunches phenomenology on the basis of a different “epistemic” measure, which turns phenomenology …Read more

    Can Our Being in the World Remain in the Neuter?
    In Luce Irigaray, Mahon O'Brien & Christos Hadjioannou (eds.), Towards a New Human Being, Springer Verlag. pp. 185-197. 2019.
    I read To Be Born as a book on ontology. It is a book about what it means to be, what it means to become who one already is. To Be Born delivers an ontological project that Luce Irigaray announces in earlier books. Irigaray’s work offers an original and positive conception of human existence and the way to fulfill its destiny, in the sense that it posits a determinate way of looking at human being. Irigaray’s ontology is independent—its noematic economy being self-sufficient—but it also constitu…Read more

    Heidegger on Affect (edited book)
    Palgrave. 2019.
    This book offers the first comprehensive assessment of Heidegger’s account of affective phenomena. Affective phenomena play a significant role in Heidegger’s philosophy — his analyses of mood significantly influenced diverse fields of research such as existentialism, hermeneutics, phenomenology, theology and cultural studies. Despite this, no single collection of essays has been exclusively dedicated to this theme. Comprising twelve innovative essays by leading Heidegger scholars, this volume sk…Read more

    What Can We Do with Heidegger in the Twenty-First Century?
    Journal of the British Society for Phenomenology 48 (4): 350-359. 2017.
    The past two years have been eventful for Heidegger scholarship. Heidegger’s Black Notebooks from the 1930s were published (GA94–96), exposing his antisemitism in a new way, and reigniting several debates. The question that mattered most was whether his philosophy – rather than the person – was inherently antisemitic. If yes: should we continue reading and teaching Heidegger in the twenty-first century?
