The phenomenology of depression
Through attempting a comprehensive portrait of existence through time, Heidegger displays a bigger cosmic backdrop against which the shreds of individual despair can be read. My brain had begun to endure its familiar siege: panic and dislocation, and a sense that my thought processes were being engulfed by a toxic and unnameable tide that obliterated…

Autoscopic Doubles
This from NRP coinciding with the publication of Oliver Sacks’ latest book Hallucinations.
