The Phenomenology Booth is a virtual exhibit devoted to the philosophical field of phenomenology. The exhibit is hosted on the Wipf and Stock Blog and includes a set of interviews with philosophers and theologians working in phenomenology, as well as a selection of Wipf and Stock’s books in phenomenology. You can find the link to the booth below.
Dr. Conor Sweeney is a professor of theology at Christendom College and the author of a handful of books with us at Cascade, including his Sacramental Presence after Heidegger: Onto-theology, Sacraments, and the Mother’s Smile.
In the interview, Professor Sweeney and I have a conversation about Heidegger, sacramental theology, John Paul II, Hans Urs von Balthasar, and lots more.
