Edward S. Casey (born February 24, 1939, in Topeka, Kansas) is an American philosopher and university professor.
He has published several volumes on phenomenology, philosophical psychology, and the philosophy of space and place.
Casey has cited as primary influences Immanuel Kant, the phenomenologists Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Edmund Husserl and Martin Heidegger, as well as his teachers William A. Earle at Northwestern University and Paul Ricoeur, with whom he studied at the Sorbonne over several years on a Fulbright Fellowship.
[2] Casey was president of the American Philosophical Association (Eastern Division) from 2009 to 2010, dean of the Faculty of Arts at Stony Brook University, and chairman of the Department of Philosophy at Stony Brook University.
Overall, Casey's philosophical work is broadly descriptive and attempts to bear out the nuances of basic phenomena and peri-phenomena of human experience that have been neglected in earlier philosophical accounts.
