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…

Another paper by Shaun this time coauthored with Jan Slaby (check out Jan’s website — lot’s of good stuff here). The concept of a socially extended mind suggests that our cognitive processes are extended not simply by the various tools and technologies we use, but by other minds in our intersubjective interactions, and more systematically by institutions that,…
In your face: transcendence in embodied interaction
A new open access article by Sean Gallagher (there currently seems to be some problem with the journal’s website but will hopefully be resolved).
