Anthony Vincent Fernandez is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Kent State University. He earned a B.A. (2010) from Eckerd College and an M.A. (2013) and Ph.D. (2016) from the University of South Florida. After completing his Ph.D., he held an Izaak Walton Killam Postdoctoral Fellowship (2016–17) at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

His research is on phenomenology and the philosophy of medicine and psychiatry. He writes primarily on the challenges of applying phenomenology to the study of contingent and particular aspects of human existence, including gender identities, racial differences, and pathologies.

He is co-editor of The Oxford Handbook of Phenomenological Psychopathology (forthcoming 2018) and of a forthcoming special issue of Continental Philosophy Review, entitled, “The Phenomenological Method Today” (forthcoming 2020).

His articles include:

  1. “Phenomenology and Dimensional Approaches to Psychiatric Research and Classification.” Philosophy, Psychiatry, & Psychology. (forthcoming)
  2. “The Subject Matter of Phenomenological Research: Existentials, Modes, and Prejudices.” Synthese 194 (2017): 3543–3562.
  3. “Depression as Existential Feeling or De-Situatedness? Distinguishing Structure from Mode in Psychopathology.” Phenomenology and the Cognitive Sciences 13 (2014): 595–612.

His book chapters include:

  1. “Merleau-Ponty and the Foundations of Psychopathology.” The Bloomsbury Companion to the Philosophy of Psychiatry (forthcoming 2018). Edited by R. Bluhm and S. Tekin. New York: Bloomsbury Publishing.
  2. “Beyond the Ontological Difference: Heidegger, Binswanger, and the Future of Existential Analysis.” Existential Medicine: Essays on Health and Illness (forthcoming 2018). Edited by K. Aho. Lanham, MD: Rowman & Littlefield International.
  3. “Phenomenology, Typification, and Ideal Types in Psychiatric Diagnosis and Classification.” Knowing and Acting in Medicine (2016): 39–58. Edited by R. Bluhm. Lanham, MD: Rowman & Littlefield International.

For a complete list of publications, see his CV. Pre-prints are available on Academia.edu, Philpapers.org, and his Personal Website.

At Kent State, he teaches Medicine and Morality, Hermeneutics, and Existentialism.
