• Turning Emotion Inside Out: Affective Life  beyond the Subject
  

  Prof. Ed Casey has just published Turning Emotion Inside Out:  Affective Life  beyond the Subject. He argues that many emotions do not stem from human subjectivity, as is too often assumed. They also derive from elsewhere: from human/animal relations as well as whole environments and atmospheres.

• Thinking in Transit -Explorations of Life in Motion
  

  Megan Craig and Edward S. Casey provide a collaborative phenomenological exploration of thought in motion, interspersing lively first-person accounts with broader philosophical inquiry. Their investigation, structured around the four ancient elements—water, air, earth, and fire—ranges across swimming, boats, balloons, planes, cars, trains, and other modes of transport. Craig and Casey invite readers to recall their own experiences of travel and how thinking changes in tandem with shifting environments and whatever conveys a person from place to place.
• Levinas and James -Toward a Pragmatic Phenomenology
  

  Bringing to light new facets in the philosophy of Emmanuel Levinas and William James, Megan Craig explores intersections between French phenomenology and American pragmatism. Craig demonstrates the radical empiricism of Levinas's philosophy and the ethical implications of James's pluralism while illuminating their relevance for two philosophical disciplines that have often held each other at arm's length. Revealing the pragmatic minimalism in Levinas's work and the centrality of imagery in James's prose, she suggests that aesthetic links are crucial to understanding what they share.
