14Emotion at the EdgeEidos. A Journal for Philosophy of Culture 2 (3): 128-135. 2018.Are emotions internal episodes – psychical or neurological – as is often claimed? Some certainly are; but I maintain that an important class of emotions are “peripheral”; by this I mean that they consist in what we pick up from others’ expressions of their emotions in words, gestures, or actions – or from surrounding circumstances of various sorts. These expressions and circumstances contain affect clusters that manifest themselves to us exophanously, literally “showings-forth.” I explore both o…Read more

20Lawlor Laid Out: Between Space and EmotionSouthern Journal of Philosophy 56 (3): 379-392. 2018.This essay explores two topics in Leonard Lawlor’s work: the role of space and the place of emotion. Lawlor’s early and middle works offer a complex and subtle discussion of time, with occasional adversions to space. I attempt to draw out what he says, or should say, about space and place in an effort for it to be given its due in the face of the temporocentrism that is endemic in continental philosophy since Bergson. From there I explore the role of affect and emotion in Lawlor’s more recent wr…Read more

32Visibilizing the Invisible in PaintingChiasmi International 19 239-253. 2017.I write here about how the visible and the invisible intertwine in painting: in theory and in praxis – primarily the praxis of my own painting. Philosophers are rarely asked to discuss, much less to show in public, what they do avocationally rather than professionally. I was drawn to the invitation of the Merleau-Ponty Circle to exhibit my painting and to talk about what I do when I am not writing or teaching philosophy. It has offered a rare chance to catch up with myself – with the painter in …Read more

81Taking a glance at the environment: Prolegomena to an ethics of the environmentResearch in Phenomenology 31 (1): 1-21. 2001.It is remarkable how much we can understand about an environmental problem at a mere glance. By means of a glance - at once quick and comprehensive - we can detect that something is going wrong in a given environmental circumstance, and we can even begin to suspect what needs to be done to rectify the situation. In this paper I explore the unsuspected power of the glance in environmental thought and practice, drawing special lessons for an ethics of the environment. Specific examples are analyze…Read more

56Man, Self, and TruthThe Monist 55 (2): 218-254. 1971.The destiny of philosophy is indissociably linked with the destiny of man. Whatever its ultimate aspirations, philosophy remains rooted in man and his self-questioning. It is not merely a reflection on man, but one of his vital activities: an intellectual enterprise which is created and sustained by living philosophers and which is addressed, implicitly or explicitly, to other men. Even if its outer horizons encompass more than the strictly human, its insights remain valid only for humans. Human…Read more

31Freud’s Theory of Reality: A Critical AccountReview of Metaphysics 25 (4). 1972.Yet such a contrast fails to provide an adequate account of the full scope of either philosophy or psychoanalysis. On the one hand, philosophical inquiry is not wholly pre-empted by the question of reality; it may also extend into the realm of phantasy, as can be seen in Plato's effort to determine the epistemological value of eikasia or in Husserl's consideration of Phantasie as a basis of insight into essences. On the other hand, psychoanalysts are as concerned about reality as they are about …Read more

62The World of the Imagination (review)Review of Metaphysics 46 (1): 145-146. 1992.This book is at once the most definitive and the most comprehensive book of its kind ever written. No other study begins to rival this splendid assessment of the many sides and sorts of the imagination, its unending vicissitudes, ramifications, extensions, and applications. Lucidly composed, carefully thought out, and forcefully presented, the eight hundred pages of this treatise are as informative as they are witty, as concise as they are expansive, as precise as they are suggestive. For anyone…Read more

The question of the relation between conceptual, bodily, and institutional spaces is also treated

29The Image/Sign Relation in Husserl and FreudReview of Metaphysics 30 (2). 1976.EVER SINCE Plato declared imagining to be mere pseudo- or shadow-knowing—a form of eikasia, the lowest species of mental activity—Western philosophers have striven to put imagination in its place: a strictly subordinate place. With the exception of isolated figures such as Vico, Collingwood, and Bachelard, philosophers have denounced imagining for its digressiveness and excoriated it for its evasiveness, though sometimes surreptitiously admiring it for these very qualities. At the same time, and…Read more

39The World at a GlanceIndiana University Press. 2007.What happens when we glance around a room? How do we trust what we see in fleeting moments? In The World at a Glance, Edward S. Casey describes how glancing counts for more of human perception than previously imagined. An entire universe is perceived in a glance, but our quick and uncommitted attention prevents examination of these rapid acts and processes. While breaking down this paradox, Casey surveys the glance as an essential way by which we acquaint ourselves with the world. This experient…Read more
