The Philosophical Perambulations of a Superior Mind: A Phenomenological Walk through Leeds alongside Shakespeare, Lincoln, Socrates, and Johnson
A perambulation through Leeds in the company of the greatest minds history has produced, and the one it has yet to recognise.
The Metaphysical Decrepitude of the Common Market: A Nietzschean, Marxian and Freudian Excavation of Kirkgate Market
A Nietzschean, Marxian and Freudian excavation of Kirkgate Market — on fishmongers, butchers, bakeries, the stink of ordinary existence, and one man's quiet certainty that he alone has understood the place.
The Ontological Persistence of the Common Idiot: A Nietzschean, Freudian, Marxian, Chaplinesque and Benny-Hillian Phenomenology of Woodhouse, Leeds
A Nietzschean, Freudian, Marxian, Chaplinesque and Benny-Hillian phenomenology of Woodhouse, Leeds — and of the figure who survives every attempt to redevelop him.
The Socio-Philosophical Transvaluation of Urban Space: A Nietzschean, Freudian and Marxian Phenomenology of Harehills, Roundhay and Alwoodley
An intellectual excavation by a man who, having observed Leeds rather carefully, has concluded that almost everybody else has misunderstood it.
On The Existence of God in Burmantofts: A Philosophical Excavation
A Nietzschean interrogation of faith, deprivation, and the search for meaning in inner-city Leeds. On the death of God in Burmantofts and what fills the metaphysical vacuum.
From Industrial Heartland to Persistent Deprivation: The Social Trajectory of Middleton, Belle Isle, and Hunslet Since the 1950s
Middleton, Belle Isle, and Hunslet form a contiguous belt of south Leeds that once embodied the city's industrial strength and working-class community life. By the early twenty-first century large parts of the same area ranked among the most deprived localities in England.
About Manny Wheelman
Manny Wheelman is a character who needs no introduction to anyone who has spent time in the chess clubs and backstreets of Belle Isle, Leeds. Equal parts philosopher and provocateur, Manny has a habit of defeating people who underestimate him, on the chessboard and off it. A writer of essays, academic works, and sharp social commentary, his writing carries the same dry intelligence and quiet menace that has unsettled better-credentialed men for decades. Belle Isle's finest export.
