“Frank Schalow’s new book, Toward a Phenomenology of Addiction, offers an important contribution to the philosophical study of addiction. … Schalow succeeds in this work in knitting together a host of phenomenological themes around the topic of addiction … . Its successes make this book a considerable step in the phenomenological and existential analysis of addiction, and no doubt it will prove an important study for anyone interested in this topic.” (Peter Antich, Phenomenological Reviews, reviews.ophen.org, March, 2018)“Frank Schalow’s Toward a Phenomenology of Addiction: Embodiment, Technology, Transcendence enhances and enlarges our understanding of the problem of addiction as a problem of existence, aproblem in living, a problem in “how to be.”… This courageous work will prove to be an innovative addition to the literature on addiction. It will serve as an invaluable resource for those who work in the field of addiction—especially for those who use experience-near therapeutic approaches that are incipiently phenomenological.” (Mufid James Hannush, Journal of Phenomenological Psychology, Vol. 49, 2018)
