    On Engaged Thinking and Acting

    by Fred Dallmayr ...
    Mindfulness and Letting Be: On Engaged Thinking and Acting is a protest against the extreme mindlessness or thoughtlessness of our age, a malaise covered by manipulative cleverness and by minds filled to the brim with opinions, doctrines, marching orders, and ideologies.

  • Democracy to Come

    Politics as Relational Praxis

    by Fred Dallmayr ...
