Hooke’s latest 212-page book, Alphonso Lingis and Existential Genealogy, to be published on Nov. 1, is divided into two major sections. One will focus on telling stories from a philosophical perspective and the other will show how Alphonso Lingis’ perspectives and concepts can help other studies. The new book will actually be the first full-length examination of the work of Lingis.

Alphonso Lingis was born on Nov. 23, 1933, and is an American philosopher, writer, and translator. He currently serves as professor emeritus of philosophy at Pennsylvania State University. He specializes in phenomenology, existentialism, modern philosophy, and ethics. The beginning of his books use pictures to introduce what he is talking about, making Lingis a very vivid writer...

Lingis himself has individually published over 18 works, including works of photography, and has collaborated on a variety of translations as well, according to the Pennsylvania State University website.
