Nigel Williams' book, 'Shadow Property and the Hidden Empire of Ego,' explores the complex relationship between liberal property concepts and the inherent ego-driven motivations behind them. The work reflects on the historical, present, and future trajectories of property as both a legal and political idea, highlighting its spatial dimensions and the contrasting 'shadow' it casts, akin to the ominous image of Nosferatu. The book delves into the philosophical underpinnings of property, examining how it influences social structures and individual identities. It is intended for scholars and students interested in legal theory, political philosophy, and the socio-political implications of property rights. Through a personal journey of intellectual exploration, Williams questions the justifications of liberal property, addressing themes of scarcity, inequality, and the empirical consequences of ego-driven property systems.

In Egocentricity and Mysticism, Ernst Tugendhat casts mysticism as an innate facet of what it means to be human—a response to an existential need for peace of mind. This need is created by our discursive practices, which serve to differentiate us from one another and privilege our respective first-person standpoints. Emphasizing the first person fuels a desire for mysticism, which builds knowledge of what binds us together and connects us to the world. Any intellectual pursuit that prompts us to "step back" from our egocentric concerns harbors a mystic kernel that manifests as a sense of awe, wonder, and gratitude. Philosophy, the natural sciences, and mathematics all engender forms of mystical experience as profound as any produced by meditation and asceticism. One of the most widely discussed books by a German philosopher in decades, Egocentricity and Mysticism is a philosophical milestone that clarifies in groundbreaking ways our relationship to language, social interaction, and mortality.
