1. 1. Having Thought

   Essays in the Metaphysics of Mind

   

   A collection of philosophical essays that examine what it means to think and to understand, arguing that cognition is not merely formal symbol manipulation but depends on embodied skills, background know-how, and a capacity to respond to reasons. Drawing on phenomenology and ordinary language philosophy, the book critiques computationalist accounts of mind, defends the normativity of intentionality, and emphasizes the situated, practice-based grounding of meaning. It connects these themes to debates in artificial intelligence and cognitive science, insisting that genuine understanding requires being appropriately engaged with the world.

2. 2. Dasein Disclosed

   

   A rigorous interpretation of Heidegger’s concept of Dasein as fundamentally disclosed: the book argues that human being is constituted by practical, skillful engagement with a meaningful world, where equipmental contexts, concern, and temporality make things intelligible. By explicating disclosure, readiness-to-hand, fallenness, authenticity, and the normative structure of understanding, it clarifies how truth and subjectivity arise from world-involving practices and aims to render Heideggerian insights accessible to analytic philosophical discussion.
