    Levinas's philosophy of time: gift, responsibility, diachrony, hope.Eric R. Severson - 2013 - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania: Duquesne University Press.
    A chronological approach that examines the progression of Levinas's deliberations on time over six decades, thus providing new insights about aspects of Levinasian thought that have consistently troubled readers, including the differences between Levinas's early and later writings, his controversial invocation of the feminine, and the blurry line between philosophy and religion in his work"--Provided by publisher.

    Blasphemy! Levinas and the Unjustification of Suffering.Eric R. Severson - 2024 - Journal for Continental Philosophy of Religion:1-21.
    In this article, Severson explores the insights of Emmanuel Levinas regarding theodicy and the problem of evil. Levinas considers philosophical and practical justifications of suffering to be blasphemous, violating the sanctity of the suffering of the other person, even when well-meant. Severson introduces distinctions between “pain” and “suffering” to extrapolate and explain Levinas’s striking rejection of theodicy.

    Race, Rage, and Resistance: Philosophy, Psychology, and the Perils of Individualism.David M. Goodman & Eric R. Severson - 2019 - Routledge.
    This timely collection asks the reader to consider how society's modern notion of humans as rational, isolated individuals has contributed to psychological and social problems and oppressive power structures. Experts from a range of disciplines offer a complex understanding of how humans are shaped by history, tradition, and institutions. Drawing upon the work of Lacan, Fanon, and Foucault, this text examines cultural memory, modern ideas of race and gender, the roles of symbolism and mythology, and neoliberalism's impact on psychology. Through (...)

    The Ethical Turn: Otherness and Subjectivity in Contemporary Psychoanalysis.David Goodman & Eric R. Severson (eds.) - 2016 - Routledge.
    Levinas claims that "morality is not a branch of philosophy, but first philosophy" and if he is right about this, might ethics also serve as a first _psychology_?_ _This possibility is explored by the authors in this volume who seek to bring the "ethical turn" into the world of psychoanalysis. This phenomenologically rich and socially conscious ethics has taken centre stage in a variety of academic disciplines, inspired by the work of philosophers and theologians concerned with the moral fabric of (...)

    Gift and economy: ethics, hospitality and the market.Eric R. Severson (ed.) - 2012 - Newcastle upon Tyne, UK: Cambridge Scholars Press.
    Is it possible to really give a gift? This may, at first glance, seem like a peripheral question for philosophy, which normally directs its attention to seemingly bigger questions. The dynamics of the gift move into philosophy from anthropology and sociology, but Jacques Derrida insists that this question belongs at the heart of philosophy. This volume takes up Derrida's challenge to invest in the question of a gift, and the relationship between gift and economy. The powerful and corruptive forces of (...)

    I more than others: responses to evil and suffering.Eric R. Severson (ed.) - 2010 - Newcastle: Cambridge Scholars Press.
    Fyodor Dostoyevsky expressed a strange and surprising sentiment through one of the characters of The Brothers Karamazov. A dying young man named Markel declares: Every one of us has sinned against all men, and I more than others." He later says: "...every one of us is answerable for everyone else and for everything." Markel's absurd claims have engendered many reflections on the nature of suffering and what it means to be responsible for someone else's suffering. The world has no shortage (...)

    Memories and Monsters: Psychology, Trauma and Narrative.Eric R. Severson & David Goodman - 2017 - Routledge.
    Memories and Monsters explores the nature of the monstrous or uncanny, and the way psychological trauma relates to memory and narration. This interdisciplinary book works on the borderland between psychology and philosophy, drawing from scholars in both fields who have helped mould the bourgeoning field of relational psychoanalysis and phenomenological and existential psychology. The editors have sought out contributions to this field that speak to the pressing question: how are we to attend to and contend with our monsters? The authors (...)

    The psychology and philosophy of Eugene Gendlin: making sense of contemporary experience.Eric R. Severson & Kevin C. Krycka (eds.) - 2023 - New York, NY: Routledge.
    This book brings together a collection of essays written by scholars inspired by Eugene Gendlin's work, particularly those interested in thinking with and beyond Gendlin for the sake of a global community facing significant crises. The contributors take inspiration from Gendlin's philosophy of the implicit, and his theoretical approach to psychology. The essays engage with Gendlin's ideas for our era, including critiques and corrections as well as extrapolations of his work. Gendlin himself worried that knowing about a problem is too (...)
