Why a Philosopher Chose to Study Alien Abductions
To explain why I, an academic philosopher, decided study “alien abduction,” I offer an account of how my intellectual development and personal experience dovetailed in a way that legitimated my inquiry into this strange phenomenon.”

The Threat of Ecofascism
L'A. mesure les dangers politiques et sociaux lies a la menace ecofasciste qui guette les pays industrialises qui appliquent les principes d'une ecologie radicale definie comme ecosophie. L'A. montre que l'environnementalisme americain echappe au modele de l'ecosophie fasciste allemande definie par W. Schoenichen sous le Troisieme Reich
Contesting Earth’s Future: Radical Ecology and Postmodernity
Radical ecology typically brings to mind media images of ecological activists standing before loggers' saws, staging anti-nuclear marches, and confronting polluters on the high seas. Yet for more than twenty years, the activities of organizations such as the Greens and Earth First! have been influenced by a diverse, less-publicized group of radical ecological philosophers. It is their work—the philosophical underpinnings of the radical ecological…
Rethinking the Heidegger-Deep Ecology Relationship
Recent disclosures regarding the relationship between Heidegger’s thought and his own version of National Socialism have led me to rethink my earlier efforts to portray Heidegger as a forerunner of deep ecology. His political problems have provided ammunition for critics, such as Murray Bookchin, who regard deep ecology as a reactionary movement. In this essay, I argue that, despite some similarities, Heidegger’s thought and deep ecology are in m…

Philosophy and Politics: The Case of Heidegger
Quantum Theory, Intrinsic Value, and Panentheism
Feminism, Deep Ecology, and Environmental Ethics
The Body's Recollection of Being: Phenomenological Psychology and the Deconstruction of Nihilism
This is a unique study, contuining the work of Merleau-Ponty and Heidegger, and using the techniques of phenomenology against the prevailing nihilism of our culture. It expands our understanding of the human potential for spiritual self-realization by interpreting it as the developing of a bodily-felt awareness informing our gestures and movements. The author argues that a psychological focus on our experience of well-being and pathology as embod…
