Work in progress

Very grateful for comments on any of these (via email, tomwhyman@googlemail.com).

As well as the linked papers, I have draft papers on the following topics:

  • Fanon, violence, and spontaneous freedom
  • Why despair shouldn’t be thought of as the opposite of hope
  • How to act from despair
  • The concepts of climate hope and despair (for a handbook)
  • Iris Murdoch and Heidegger (for a handbook)
  • Midgley and Deleuze & Guattari
  • Midgley and the concept of rationality (with Ellie Robson)
  • Desert claims and recognition

(happy to share/discuss any of the above if you’re interested – I mainly just can’t be bothered to upload them here because of how clunky and enshittified wordpress is these days!).

Draft article on Adorno, Iris Murdoch, and perfectionism (under review somewhere).

Draft article on Adorno’s concept of experience (under review somewhere).

Draft article on Adornian negativism and natalism.

Draft paper on Mary Midgley and neo-Aristotelianism (for an edited collection).
