David Appelbaum

David Appelbaum, PhD, treads a thin line between poetry and philosophy. A professor emeritus of philosophy at SUNY New Paltz, his work, in a series of books, focuses on the transcendent nature of ordinary things, including Everyday Spirits (SUNY, 1995). In addition, his thought shows a special interest in the performance of the speaking voice. For ten years, he was editor-in-chief of Parabola Magazine, with its concern for wisdom traditions and the search for meaning. Prof. Appelbaum's more recent books include Notes on Water: An Aqueous Phenomenolgy (Monkfish, 2017) and In His Voice: Maurice Blanchot's Affair with the Neutral (SUNY, 2015).
