Following in the footsteps of Pierce and Eco, Peters takes an unflinching look at the problem of human conflict. His unconventional book weaves together the technical precision of philosophy and the creative insights of narrative to articulate a theory of ambiguity that points us toward a world where we no longer feel the need to demonize, denigrate, and defame each other simply because we tell different stories. In an age of ideology and outrage, Peters suggests there is still the chance for civil discourse. Now wouldn't that be nice? --D. Andrew Yost, University of Colorado, Denver Narrativizing Theories inventively offers an aesthetic theory that slips, enfolds, weaves, and doubts. As the etymology of ambiguity intimates, Peters 'drives us both ways' as he presents a composition, arranged in multiple movements, in and out of epistemologies and ethics, things and theories, stories that undo theories and theories that undo stories. Ultimately, it's an elegantly written gambol through the ways the arts keep us human by giving us embodied narratives that unsettle our realities. --S. Brent Rodriguez Plate, Hamilton College
