Where would I report a product (in the EU, as a private person) with an inherent design issue that is life-threatening? It's in the same vein as a car with a gas pedal that can get stuck by design, so it likely would need a mass recall/fix. It doesn't make sense to report it to the producing company because this company is known to having denied similar issues.

BACK to the THINGS THEMSELVES! 2025
Back to the Things Themselves! (BTTTT!) is an annual attempt to put aside the more conventional scholarly practice of textual exegesis and critique, and return to the lived world to divine the essential structures of experience through careful phenomenological description. In short, BTTTT!‘s main aim is to “do phenomenology”—that is, to generate original descriptions of phenomena in the lifeworld.  BTTTT! is part of the Society for Existential and Phenomenological Theory and Cultu…

The Embraer 190 was en route from the Azerbaijani capital of Baku to the Russian city of Grozny in the North Caucasus when it was diverted and attempted an emergency landing near the city of Aktau.

The question of the child in Merleau-Ponty: readings and developments
The psychological and pedagogical reflections on childhood in the work of Maurice Merleau-Ponty have received little recognition and appreciation in the literature, although they offer a variety of possible insights and openings. These studies are mainly collected from courses held at the Collège de France between 1949 and 1952; they place the French philosopher in dialogue with the scientific context of the time. Following the thought of Ferdinand de Saussure, Claude Lévi-Strauss, and Jacque…

During WWII, when someone was sent to a concentration/death camp, the word used to describe it is “deported” to the camp.
The “mass deportations” currently being suggested today use the word “deportations” in the same way.

Digital Worlds Workshop
The philosophy departments at The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley and The University of North Dakota invite submissions for a virtual workshop to be conducted remotely on April 25-27 2025 . We seek papers that interrogate the way modern digital technology enhances, hampers, or alters our experience of our lived worlds. The distinction between “being on the internet” and “being in the real world” is eroding. People can increasingly be said to “live on their phones” or other dev…
