  • The Origins of Cartesian Dualism

    Open AccessTarek R DikaARTICLEJournal of the American…2020

    In the recently discovered Cambridge manuscript, widely regarded as an early draft of Rules for the Direction of the Mind , Descartes does not describe the mind as a ‘purely spiritual’ force ‘distinct from the whole body’. This has led some readers to speculate that Descartes did not embrace mind-body dualism in the Cambridge manuscript. In this article, I offer a detailed interpretation of Descartes's mind-body dualism in the established Charles…

  • Finitude, Phenomenology, and Theology in Heidegger's Sein und Zeit

    Open AccessTarek R DikaARTICLEHarvard Theological Review2017

  • Wittgenstein, the Criticism of Philosophy, and Self-Knowledge

    Open AccessTarek R DikaARTICLEEuropean Journal of Pragmatism…2010

    The Philosophical Investigations can be read as a sustained meditation on the metaphysical effects philosophical requirements have on our understanding of the phenomena of philosophical inquiry. The present essay proposes the basic outlines such a reading might take by attending to Wittgenstein’s distinctive form of philosophical criticism, a form that interrogates the theoretical and moral integrity of our requirements and the claims we enter on…
