America in the United States and the United States in America is a unique study of the relation between the nation of the United States and the continent and dream of America. The result is a different way of looking at the history and present problems of the United States. The way we speak influences the way we think. America can be a valuable idea of what the United State has to strive for, namely, to be a place of liberty and justice for all. But the regular identification of the country with America leads to a cover up of the obvious problems within the United States and missteps in its foreign policy. 2018

The Act of Teaching: Reflections on a Basic Human Act does not assume that teaching occurs mainly in schools. The book compares two philosophical traditions. In the first tradition teaching is done by one group of adults; the learners are usually children. In the second tradition, every human being and some nonhuman beings are teachers. In this case, teaching-learning is a single activity viewed from opposite ends. Most teaching is done by nonhumans, teaching by humans is mostly communal and nonverbal. To teach is to show someone how to do something. A variety of languages is used in teaching that correspond to the different forms of education. The book has numerous examples to show the rich possibilities of teaching-learning. 2020
