Eric Chelstrom served as Visiting Assistant Professor in philosophy at Grand Valley State University from 2009-2012, and currently continues to teach in there and in Grand Rapids area. He completed his doctoral studies in philosophy at the University at Buffalo, State University of New York under the direction of Kah Kyung Cho. He has presented at number of international conferences on issues ranging from the ontology of music to social ontology. Dr. Chelstrom's current research includes work on the role of horizon intentionality in Aristotelian friendships, to be published in a forthcoming volume titled Phenomenology and Virtue Ethics; research in the history of phenomenology, including work on the analyses of evil in phenomenology prior to Paul Ricoeur's Symbolism of Evil and on the influence of Adolf Reinach's social ontology on Edith Stein's philosophy; finally, his research is beginning to turn to the implications of a theory of collective intentionality for our understanding of the nature of art, paying specific attention to arguments from Arthur Danto's essay, "The Artworld".
The question of intersubjectivity was perhaps one of the most debated and attended-to philosophical problems of the last century. But what is really interesting about it is the fact that the same question seems to play a pivotal role in both analytical and continental (phenomenological) traditions which otherwise appear to continually drift away from each other, or try to sever all connections to one another in their attempt to assert their self-sufficiency. And this alleged self-sufficiency is precisely what Eric Chelstrom is trying to overcome in his clear and well-argued work on intersubjectivity and collective intentionality, which attempts to develop a solid and productive dialogue between the two philosophical perspectives. ... By successfully using the compass of clear-cut Husserlian terminology, Chelstrom succeeds in finding his way through the dangerous and murky waters of social phenomenology, not only avoiding the hazards of the established analytical perspectives on the same matter, but also constructing a bridge between the two antagonistic traditions which invites other thinkers belonging to the said traditions of thought to cross it for the sake of "the things themselves".
