17De dubbele strategie Van de dekonstruktie bij DerridaTijdschrift Voor Filosofie 45 (1). 1983.'Deconstruction' as a way of philosophizing fits in with an important aspect of the tradition of modern philosophy, i.e. the reflection on philosophical thinking itself, on the rules and conditions of its thinking, yet it differs from this tradition in that it starts from the non-traditional conception of philosophy as being — primarily and factually — an activity of text-reading and - production. As such, the 'method' of deconstruction follows a double path : on the one hand, the analysis or th…Read more

74Martha Nussbaum’s Capabilities ApproachProceedings of the Xxii World Congress of Philosophy 50 823-835. 2008.Throughout the 1990-ies Nussbaum, in collaboration with others, has elaborated and argued for a list of human capabilities which specifies necessary conditions of human flourishing. The capabilities approach has been enormously influential in putting issues of global development and justice, and especially justice for women, on the philosophical and political agenda. Moreover, many international agencies and institutions, including the United Nations Development Program, have started to make use…Read more

47Heidegger’s hermeneutic account of cognitionPhenomenology and the Cognitive Sciences 14 (4): 1145-1163. 2015.Hermeneutic phenomenology is absent in 4 EAC literature . The aim of this article is to show that hermeneutic phenomenology as elaborated in the work of Heidegger is relevant to 4 EAC research. In the first part of the article I describe the hermeneutic turn Heidegger performs in tandem with his ontological turn of transcendental phenomenology, and the hermeneutic account of cognition resulting from it. I explicate the main thesis of the hermeneutic account, namely that cognition is interaction …Read more

159Body and language: Butler, Merleau-ponty and Lyotard on the speaking embodied subjectInternational Journal of Philosophical Studies 11 (2). 2003.In this article three viewpoints on the relation of body and language are discussed: the poststructuralist viewpoint of Judith Butler, the phenomenological viewpoint of Maurice Merleau-Ponty and the postmodernist viewpoint of Jean-François Lyotard. The reason juxtaposing for these three accounts is twofold. First, the topic requires a combination of post-structuralist and phenomenological insights, and second, the accounts are supplementary. Butler's account raises questions that can be answered…Read more

60Cognitive Theory and Phenomenology in Arendt’s and Nussbaum’s Work on NarrativeHuman Studies 30 (2): 79-95. 2007.In this essay I compare Nussbaum's and Arendt's approach to narrativity. The point of the comparison is to find out which approach is more adequate for practical philosophy: the approach influenced by cognitive theory or the one influenced by hermeneutic phenomenology. I conclude that Nussbaum's approach is flawed by methodological solipsism, which is due to her application of cognitive theory.

38The Psyche and the Social: Judith Butler's Politcizing of Psychoanalytical TheoryIn Jens de Vleminck (ed.), Sexuality and psychoanalysis: Philosophical Criticisms, Leuven University Press. pp. 10--171. 2010.Drawing on The Psychic Life of Power (Butler 1997), this essay sketches the outline of Butler's project of bringing Foucault (politics) and Lacan (psychoanalysis) together.
