(2017) Toward a phenomenology of addiction, Dordrecht, Springer.
This chapter outlines the existential roots of addiction; these originate from the structures of everydayness and harbor the possibility of an individual's becoming victimized by the pursuit of his/her self-indulgences. In the process, we will describe how our simplest desires of the self's in its embodiment can be exaggerated into "fetishes," and thus cross over to form the "hook" of addiction.
