Dan Zahavi currently is probably THE most renown and worldwide most popular scholar in phenomenology, and sort of “philosophical celebrity”. Most of his books have become referential and no serious work in the field of phenomenology can deal with its topics without mentioning Zahavi’s work. If there’s anyone, who nonetheless does not know Dan Zahavi, here’s a very short introduction.

Dan Zahavi is professor of philosophy and director of the Center for Subjectivity Research. Since 2018, he has also had a secondary appointment as professor of philosophy at University of Oxford. He’s mainly working on topics in the field of phenomenology, philosophy of mind, and cognitive science. He’s written on the nature of selfhood, self-consciousness, intersubjectivity, social cognition, temporality, sociality, shame, empathy and collective intentionality. He’s the author of a number of books including Husserl’s Phenomenology (Stanford 2003), Subjectivity and Selfhood (MIT Press 2005), The Phenomenological Mind together with S. Gallagher (Routledge 2008/2012), Self and Other (OUP 2014), Husserl's Legacy (OUP 2017), and Phenomenology: The Basics (Routledge 2019). I am co-editor in chief of the journal Phenomenology and the Cognitive Sciences.
