An ontological and epistemological framework and foundation for the psychological symptom 'neurosis'.

Johns is interested in liberating the psychotic, neurotic and 'in-human' tendencies secretly driving philosophical writing and reflection. Against the elevation of 'rationalism' found within traditional philosophy, Johns alternatively mobilizes insights from figures such as Gilles Deleuze (his notion of 'Repetition') and Friedrich Nietzsche (his notion of Perspectivism). Johns is a founding member of the Lincoln Philosophy Forum UK.
