Reviews
<br> Material Spirit will be a stimulating read for anyone who takes immanence seriously in, and especially across, philosophical, religious, literary, and cultural registers. Rather than rehearsing well-worn arguments or rehashing old debates, the contributors innovatively interpret the titular phrase, combining disciplines, methods, texts, and topics as seemingly unlikely, but as ultimately provocative, as the phrase 'material spirit.' -William Robert, Syracuse University<p><br> The contributions to Material Spirit are original, compelling, and beautifully interwoven. Together, they carve out a space that is neither religious nor not-religious, avoiding the dangers of unreconstructed immanence on the one hand and escapist transcendence on the other. -Mary-Jane Rubenstein, Wesleyan University<p><br>
