The entire series is being published by the UVK Press of Konstanz.
He has published four books in the general area of phenomenology and the social world. In 2004, State University of New York Press published his fifth book: The Participating Citizen: A Biography of Alfred Schutz.
He is currently working on a project comparing phenomenology with the work of the "Pittsburgh neo-Hegelians," John McDowell and Robert Brandom on basic topics in epistemology and ethics, such as the role of intentionality and language, the first-person versus third-person points of view, the relationship between the life-world and theoretical practices, and the role of justification.
A Research Assistantship for the Hotfelder chair is available on a yearly basis.
