Selfhood and appearing
James Mensch
Brill - Leiden
2018
What is the relation between our selfhood and appearing? Our embodiment positions us in the world, situating us as an object among its visible objects. Yet, by opening and shutting our eyes, we can make the visible world appear and disappear—a fact that convinces us that the world is in us.

James Mensch
Königshausen & Neumann - Würzburg
2016
For a reader versed in the Anglo-Saxon tradition of political philosophy, the Czech philosopher, Jan Patočka, appears as a paradoxical figure. A champion of human rights, he seems to present himself and his philosophy in quite traditional terms.
