Artistic creation

Jeff MitscherlingPaul Fairfield

Rowman & Littlefield - London

2019

Artistic creation has proven remarkably resistant to philosophical analysis. Artists have long struggled to explain how they do what they do, and philosophers have struggled along with them.

Hermeneutics and phenomenology

Saulius Geniusas, Paul Fairfield (eds)

Bloomsbury Academic - London

2018

The relationship between these two central theoretical and philosophical approaches, which we thought we knew, is more complex and interesting than our standard story might suggest. It is not always clear how hermeneutics-that is, post-Heideggerian hermeneutics as articulated by Hans-Georg Gadamer, Paul Ricoeur, and a large number of thinkers working under their influence-regards the phenomenological tradition, be it in its Husserlian or various post-Husserlian formulations.
