As a tenured professor at Los Medanos College, I believe in philosophy’s power to teach skills to live a meaningful life. I love teaching philosophers who challenge and force us to re-evaluate. Over the last ten years, I worked on constructing a theory of meaning to critique the value-driven theories of self, ethics, and life, which dominate contemporary society.

I focus on existential and post-modern hermeneutic phenomenology. I earned my M.A. in Philosophy from the University of Chicago.

How to stop time: kiss.
How to travel in time: read.
How to escape time: music.
How to feel time: write.
How to release time: breathe.

My book was released today! It would mean the world to a small anti-establishment philosopher if you bought a copy:

"This reliance on rigor as a justification for excluding diverse philosophical traditions connects philosophy to a tone of seriousness. Western Philosophy equates rigorous inquiry with seriousness, suggesting that only discourse deemed serious qualifies as legitimate philosophy." - A Serious Dilemma for A Serious Philosopher

A Serious Dilemma for a Serious Philosopher

E F HavenMay 12

My book comes out this week. You can still pre-order a limited hardback:

https://renee.press/product/a-serious-dilemma-for-a-serious-philosopher/

"A bold look at the culture of academic philosophy and asks whether rigor, seriousness, and tradition have gone too far. Haven argues that philosophy has become trapped by its own habits, distancing itself from lived experience, diverse voices, and the questions that matter most."
