In its attention to what 'philosophy cannot speak to and what it has left out, ' Against Better Judgment is also a book about what literary language can speak to, and what it affords. In a state of perpetual crisis and hand-wringing about the value of the humanities, this is exactly the kind of book literary scholars should be writing: books that demonstrate the value of literature not by telling but by showing us what representational feats it can accomplish. An elegant, deftly argued, thoughtful, and original work of criticism. --Sarah Tindal Kareem, UCLA, author of Eighteenth-Century Fiction and the Reinvention of Wonder
