The instructions were followed. A place...

After the major debates between Paul Ricoeur, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Jacques Derrida, Gilles Deleuze, and Michel Henry, this dialogue now seems to have broken down. It has therefore proven necessary and gainful to revisit these debates to explore their re-usability and the degree to which they can provide new insights from a contemporary point of view. It can be said that contemporary philosophy suffers from an 'excess of...

In a time of paradigm shifts, this book aims to explore the potential and interdisciplinary power of transfer as a concept...

When you're better able to recognize the force fields in which you find yourself, when you learn to observe without judgment and surrender to...
