Attention is an art form.
Perception is a skill.
I write about attention, perception, and the practices that shape both. I like to say that practice changes what comes to presence for us in the first place. Psychologists call this perceptual learning. The ancient Greeks called it askēsis. Following the French philosopher Pierre Hadot, I approach philosophy as a way of life, rooted in the transformation of perception and attention. This site contains a sampling of my work. You can find more in my newsletter. Most currently, I'm thinking about collective forms of philosophy for the twenty-first century.
