Toward a “strong” normativity of fear in Hans Jonas and Aristotle

open access: yesThe Southern Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.
Abstract What does it mean to say that one “ought” to undergo an emotion? In The Imperative of Responsibility, Hans Jonas provocatively asserts that twentieth‐century citizens “ought” to fear for the well‐being of future generations. I argue that Jonas's demand is not straightforwardly reducible to claims about the fittingness, expedience, or aretaic ...

Heidegger and Levinas on the phenomenology of the hand: Between work and gesture

open access: yesThe Southern Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.
Abstract This article explores how Heidegger and Levinas develop distinct phenomenological accounts of the hand.

open access: yesThe Southern Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.
Abstract This article highlights a shift in Hannah Arendt's intellectual development regarding the will during the 1960s, traced into the early 1970s when she focused on thinking, willing, and judging.

Adorno's empiricism?: On intellectual and metaphysical experience

open access: yesThe Southern Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.
Abstract Adorno's work contains pregnant references to the concepts of both “intellectual” and “metaphysical” experience. While the concept of metaphysical experience figures relatively prominently in the Adorno literature, intellectual experience has been largely neglected—indeed to the point that certain scholars have asserted that the two concepts ...
