Structure and Thought
This book shows how the different forms of sensory, discursive, and theoretical mediation that characterize human cognition are conducive to a realist epistemological framework that explains how the possibility of knowledge about a mind‑independent reality is conceivable.

Studies in Phenomenology and Existential Philosophy
Philosopher and physician Drew Leder shows how a phenomenology of lived embodiment reveals a series of healing strategies available in the face of the bodily breakdowns and challenges that are a part of the human condition.

Experience and Empiricism
Studies in Phenomenology and Existential Philosophy

Embracing the Void
Renowned psychoanalytic philosopher Richard Boothby puts forward a novel theory of religion inspired by Jacques Lacan’s theory of das Ding. The book offers the theoretical tools for interpreting religious belief and analyzes several faith traditions.
