Bret W. Davis je profesorom filozofie na Loyola University Maryland. Jeho dielo sa často zameriava na vplyv nemeckej filozofie, najmä Martina Heideggera, na súčasné myslenie. Davis skúma zložité vzťahy medzi existenciou, jazykom a bytím, pričom sa snaží sprístupniť tieto hlboké filozofické koncepty širšiemu publiku. Jeho analýzy ponúkajú nový pohľad na fundamentálne otázky ľudskej existencie a jej miesta vo svete.
