Reviews

The five essays Melamed (Johns Hopkins) has gathered trace concepts of, and controversies about, eternity as conceived in Platonic, medieval, modern, Kantian, and analytic philosophy. The collection is distinguished by its interdisciplinary approach. Each scholarly essay is followed by enticing reflections that extract philosophical claims from broader themes. Highlights include insights into divine love that emerge in Dante's portrayal of God's relation to time; arguments from ancient India that the language of the Vedas conveys timeless meaning; and descriptions of eternity in the verse of Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish...Narrower than an introduction, decidedly philosophical in its interdisciplinary forays, yet historical in substance, this careful, usefully synoptic book...warrants a look, particularly by specialists. -- CHOICE
