Reviews

Narrative Naturalism is a first-rate study of George Santayana's contribution to contemporary philosophy. Far more than this, it is a first-rate instance of philosophizing. Its wide-ranging erudition is indeed matched by its deep-cutting insights. The clarity, precision, and subtlety with which complex issues are accessibly presented are evident at every turn, as are the care, rigor, and imagination with which the author's own methodological and substantive positions are defended. -- Vincent Colapietro, Pennsylvania State University

Narrative Naturalism is a first-rate study of George Santayana's contribution to contemporary philosophy. Far more than this, it is an instance of first-rate philosophizing. Its wide-ranging erudition is indeed matched by its deep-cutting insights. The clarity, precision, and subtlety with which complex issues are accessibly presented are evident at every turn, as are the care, rigor, and imagination with which the author's own methodological and substantive positions are defended. Jessica Wahman's singular contribution to contemporary debates about mind, consciousness, and identity deepens our understanding of the principal questions and opens our minds to a spectrum of possible answers beyond what is presently envisioned. -- Vincent Colapietro, Pennsylvania State University The great revival of Santayana's philosophy includes not only careful interpretations of his work, but also creative extensions of his ideas. A sprightly new voice, Wahman deepens the conversation and makes a persuasive case for narrative naturalism. -- John Lachs, Vanderbilt University
