Welcome to Philosophy Publics

Hello, I am Mona Mona, and I built this blogging site to collect my writing from all around the web. I earned a Philosophy PhD from a Continental Philosophy program in the United States, and I write as a feminist and phenomenologist philosopher about the philosophical foundations of collective life.

This is a privacy-first, distraction-free platform. I wanted to build a home for my writing that was stripped down and minimalist, with the space for thinking to breathe. I also built it to protect my readers from any undue surveillance or marketing tools. I welcome your feedback about your experience here - Enjoy!
