DISSERTATION TOPIC
The Problem of the Imagination for Subjectivity: Kant and
Heidegger on the Issue of Displacement. Director: John
Sallis
RESEARCH PROJECTS AND WORKS IN PROGRESS
Finishing a manuscript that investigates the place of guilt
within contemporary European philosophy. The tentative title
of the work is: Guilty For Whom I Am: A Critical Examination of
the Role of Guilt in Twentieth Century Continental
Philosophy. (I have also considered the following title:
Guilt and Related Matters in Continental Philosophy: The
Re-Emergence of Guilt after Nietzsche' Genealogical
Analysis. The main thesis of the work is an attempt to
establish whether Nietzsche's critique of guilt in On the
Genealogy of Morals is satisfactorily dealt with by Heidegger,
Sartre, Levinas and Derrida – the four thinkers who make
guilt a primary theme in their philosophical works, and to
investigate the ways guilt still manifests itself in culture.
My contention is that the critique of guilt that Nietzsche began
still needs to be brought to bear on philosophical thought and
cultural issues.
Beginning a manuscript on the role of wit in German philosophy
from Kant to Freud.
