- More about The Politics of Attention and the Promise of Mindfulness
The deployment of attention is crucial for political outcomes, and Lawrence Berger's new conception of attention as human presence shows how its state determines the efficacy of public spaces in articulating and achieving visions of the common good. Citizens can engage in disciplines of attention such as mindfulness to produce a public power that is more appropriately oriented to the welfare of all, enabling enhanced ontological bonds to form between individuals. This book is a valuable resource for scholars and students of philosophy of mind, political philosophy, phenomenology, and cognitive science.

Recent political campaigns, such as that of Donald Trump, have highlighted the importance of attention in political outcomes. Trump's presidency, in part, resulted from media realities that required public attention, leading to instability and capriciousness in the outcomes. Drawing on the thought of Martin Heidegger, Lawrence Berger proposes a new conception of attention as human presence, which determines the efficacy of public spaces in articulating and achieving visions of the common good. Citizens can engage in disciplines of attention, such as mindfulness, to produce a public power that is more appropriately oriented to the welfare of all. Berger argues that the practice of mindfulness can enable enhanced ontological bonds between individuals, which can be the basis for more stable and effective political realities. This book is a valuable resource for scholars and students of philosophy of mind, political philosophy, phenomenology, and cognitive science.
