• Inwardness and Existence: Subjectivity in/and Hegel, Heidegger, Marx, and Freud

  The scholarly stake of Inwardness and Existence is exacting and unambiguous: to reconstruct a rigorous concept of subjectivity adequate to modern experience by staging a principled dialectical integration of four usually antagonistic traditions—Hegelian phenomenology, existential analysis, historical materialism, and psychoanalysis—under a single methodological demand that reading must itself become an experiment in transformation.

To approach quantum theory as ontology rather than a mere computational apparatus, and to bring its…
