Topophobia: A Phenomenology of Anxiety is a vivid second-person
inquiry into how anxiety plays a formative part in the constitution
of subjectivity. While anxiety has assumed a central role in the
history of philosophy - and phenomenology in particular - until now
there has been no sustained study of how it shapes our sense of
self and being in the world. This book seeks to address that
lacuna. Calling upon the author's own experience of being
agoraphobic, it asks a series of critical questions: How is our
experience of the world affected by our bodily experience of
others? What role do moods play in shaping our experience of the
world? How can we understand the role of conditions such as
agoraphobia in relation to our normative understanding of the body
and the environment? What is the relation between anxiety and home?
The reader will gain an insight into the strange experience of
being unable to cross a bridge, get on a bus, and enter a
supermarket without tremendous anxiety. At the same time, they will
discover aspects of their own bodily experience that are common to
both agoraphobes and non-agoraphobes alike. Integrating
phenomenological inquiry with current issues in the philosophy of
mind, Trigg arrives at a renewed understanding of identity, which
arranges self, other and world as a unified whole. Written with a
sense of vividness often lacking in academic discourse, this is
living philosophy.
