Vaclav Havel＇s writing on ＂deep hope＂ and Maurice Merleau-Ponty＇s classic work on embodiment were seen as points of intersection with Engaged Buddhist teachings. In-depth interviews with two Engaged Buddhists supported the premise of this paper： Deep or embodied hope is quite different from ordinary wishing or ＂hoping＂ and plays a positive role as one moved through their suffering process.展开更多

As with Heidegger, this is attempted through a turn towards art and the ＂emancipated contingency＂ that characterizes much creative production. In contrast to action and production within the knowledge economy, the creation of the artwork concerns a knowing of unknowingness （described by Maurice Blanchot as the neutral） that demands a rethink of action in relation to truth and errancy. Indeed, the very working of the work of art is conceived here as a truth that is precisely ＂set to work＂ （Heidegger） by errancy. Through a consideration of the essential difference between choice and decision and the different ＂beginning＂ of art that this suggests, the essay concludes with some reflections of the theme of art＇s fascination and the and the affirmation of the unknown.展开更多

The author applies to her review of the subject a theoretical stimulus that returns to the starting point of H616ne Cixous＇ （2008） post-structuralism and Maurice Merleau-Ponty＇s （2012） phenomenology of the body. The author becomes open to meditation on the topic as a bodily soothsayer redeeming permission for creative scholarly writing using the intuitively associative method and style of writing which she has developed. The author suggests that a theoretical starting point located in post-structuralism and the phenomenology of the body offers the possibility to equate creative scholarly writing with painting. The aim of this paper is to start from post-structuralism and the phenomenology of the body and to conceive a new method of understanding and adapting creative scholarly writing, while the author allows herself to perceive and write in her intuitively associative style.展开更多
