Disintegration, Salvation, and/or Madness in Dostoevsky

International Journal of Applied Psychoanalytic Studies, Volume 23, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Psychological fragmentation and derangement suffuse Dostoevsky's fiction. This paper argues that the madness of Dostoevsky characters derives from intense wounds to the self: humiliating lacerations that impel fugue and disintegration. Such vulnerable, frangible characters seek to escape and deny themselves to avoid being seen for who they are.

Was Einhard a widower?

Gender &History, Volume 38, Issue 1, Page 21-37, March 2026.
Abstract The ‘widow’ is a gendered, socially contingent category. Women who experienced spousal bereavement in the early middle ages faced various socio‐economic and legal ramifications; the ‘widow’ was further a rhetorical figure with a defined emotional register. The widower is, by contrast, an anachronistic category.

Focusing on Romano Guardini (1885‐1968) in Germany and Cornelio Fabro (1911‐1995) in Italy, I demonstrate how each thinker creatively appropriated Kierkegaard's ...

Spinoza's authentic solitude

The Southern Journal of Philosophy, Volume 63, Issue 4, Page 634-653, December 2025.
Abstract In this article, I consider two interpretations of Spinoza's account of the good life in recent literature, which I call the social activist model and the solitary intellectualist model, in order to shed light on his underexamined views on solitude within this context.

Nietzsche at the Deathbed: the Eternal Recurrence as a Counter to the ‘Preaching of Death’

The Heythrop Journal, Volume 66, Issue 6, Page 623-640, November 2025.
Abstract In recent scholarship, the dominant reading of Nietzsche’s concept of the eternal recurrence has been as a thought experiment. This paper responds to this in two ways. First, this paper relocates eternal recurrence in the context of Nietzsche’s abiding concern with the ‘preaching of death’, a powerful, life‐negating weapon of the ascetic ...
