Reviews

...a broadly stroked, philosophically unconventional, Heidegger-inspired, phenomenological descriptive-interpretative story of 'all there is' in the world of lived (rather than ideal/abstract/logical existence) relationships involving one's everyday experiential participation in metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, art, and psychology. - CHOICE Bearing Witness to Epiphany is another beautifully written book by John Russon, a companion to his excellent Human Experience. While continental philosophy has relentlessly deconstructed the classical form of the philosophy book, Russon has revived this form in a most compelling way. Russon's writing is so lucid, that the book seems to read itself. More importantly, like Human Experience, Bearing Witness to Epiphany is the expression of profound thinking. This book should make it clear to everyone that John Russon is one of the few original voices working in continental philosophy today. - Leonard Lawlor, coeditor of The Merleau-Ponty Reader
