Since 2013 he is Research Fellow of the Group âEmotional Culture and Identityâ of the Institute Culture and Societ (ICS) of the University of Navarra. He has also been Visiting Scholar at the Husserl Archives of the Catholic University of Leuven (Belgium) and at the Phenomenology Research Center of the Southern Illinois University (USA). He is the author of the books Das Verzeihen. Eine philosophische Untersuchung (2002), El valor Ă©tico de la afectividad. Estudios de Ă©tica fenomenolĂłgica (2012) and with U. Ferrer, Die Person im Kontext von Moral und SozialitĂ€t. Studien zur frĂŒhen phĂ€nomenologischen Ethik (2016). He has also edited the fourth edition of Alexander PfĂ€nderâs Logik and the volume MenschenwĂŒrde. Metaphysik und Ethik. He has published several papers on ontological, epistemological and ethical topics, most of them from a phenomenological standpoint.
Elisabetta Bertolino holds a Doctorate of Philosophy in Law/Legal Theory from Birkbeck CollegeâUniversity of London. She has also completed other studies in Human Rights, English Common Law, and Philosophy and Literature. Her research focuses on oneâs voice and its potentiality for resistance against constituted and sovereign forms of power. She has published in particular an interview with Adriana Cavarero (differences 2008) and is currently working on a book on oneâs voice in relation to law and politics. Elisabetta currently teaches at DEMS - Interdisciplinary Department, University of Palermo, Italy.
Kathleen Poorman Dougherty has a Ph.D. in Philosophy from the University of Oklahoma. She has held numerous faculty positions, and currently serves as Dean of the School of Humanities, Social Sciences & Education at Mount Mary University. Her scholarly work focuses on the development of moral character, the role of self-knowledge in good character, and the role of personal relationships both for increasing self-knowledge and for fostering the development of good character. In addressing these issues she frequently considers literary texts hand in hand with traditional philosophical texts, because literature allows us the privilege of seeing not only the external life but also the internal life of a character.
Joshua M. Hall is currently Visiting Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Emory University, Oxford College. His research focuses various historical and geographical lenses on philosophy's boundaries, particularly the intersection of aesthetics, psychology and social justice. This includes a critically-acclaimed coedited anthology (Philosophy Imprisoned), over two dozen peer-reviewed journal articles (including in Philosophy and Literature and Journal of Aesthetic Education), and eight anthology chapters (including Philosophical Perspectives on the Devil). His related work in the arts includes one chapbook collection and sixty-five individual poems in literary journals internationally (including multiple Pushcart Prize-winners Ibbetson St. Magazine, Main Street Rag, and Shampoo), as well as over twenty yearsâ experience as a dancer and choreographer.
A.G. Holdier is teacher and Program Director for Southern Idahoâs Minidoka Christian Education Association, as well as an ethics instructor for Colorado Technical University. His work on the intersection of aesthetics, ethics, and religion has been published in The Journal of Agricultural and Environmental Ethics, The Journal for Cultural and Religious Theory, and volumes from publishers such as Lexington Press and Palgrave Macmillan. The development of his phronesis is still undergoing considerable emplotment.

His dissertation investigates a form of intimacy within Leibnizâs system of monads, by examining Leibnizâs concept of the âvinculum substantiale.â
