Reviews

A brilliant critique of systematic and analytic philosophy.... It is the combination of depth, accessibility, and evocative resonance that makes this an important book.... It is a sustained appeal to live in a certain way: heightened attention to detail infused with presence, heightened consciousness of the ongoing need to integrate the detail. - Sheila Mason Highly original ... an impressive book. It is full of epigrammatic wit, provocative insights, and, of course, fascinating quotations. It will surely be read and debated, and it will contribute to a new mood of openness which is blowing fresh air into North American philosophy. - Ronald de Sousa Something to be read with pleasure and enlightenment. The interplay of text and quotation is fascinating.... A substantial book that has the virtues of integrity and domesticity which it celebrates. - Guy Davenport
