"From taxi window to dog's eye view, from near and only slightly afar, Jeremy's is a quixotic, idiosyncratic and quite extraordinary eye." -Robin Muir Jeremy Hackett (born 1953) is a quintessentially British fashion designer and business entrepreneur known for his menswear brand Hackett, which opened its first store on London's Kings Road in 1983. He is widely considered an authoritative voice on men's classic fashion, and in addition to regularly contributing to magazines such as Men's Health and Forbes, Hackett has published a book of anecdotal critiques of men's style entitled Mr Classic. In this latest artistic endeavor and departure from fashion, Hackett, a born-and-bred Londoner, presents a photo diary of the city he knows and loves so well. From morning walks with his dogs to fly-on-the wall observations and brief encounters with interesting, immaculately dressed characters to architectural motifs and classic cars in unusual locations, My London is a singular window into Hackett's unique view of the British capital.

Ethics and Phenomenology is a collection of essays that explore the relationship between moral philosophy and the phenomenological tradition. Phenomenology is a vast and rich philosophical tradition which seeks to explain how we perceive the world. This, in turn, involves questions about one’s relationship to the world and how one both acts and should act in the world. For this reason phenomenology entails an ethics, even if such an ethics is not always apparent in the work of phenomenological thinkers. The book is devoted to two central tasks: Section One offers essays exploring the resources available to moral philosophy in the work of the major phenomenologists of the 20th-century, including Husserl, Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, Sartre, and others. Part Two consists of essays demonstrating the way that the phenomenological method can facilitate advances in our thinking through the exploration of contemporary ethical issues, including environmentalism, intellectual property, parenting and others.
