This very exciting collection offers admirably concise and often brilliant essays on twentieth and twenty-first century philosophers and their relationship to, reliance on, commentaries about poetry.

[A] remarkable anthology. * Journal of Comparative Literature and Aesthetics * This indispensable gathering of essays by some of the most compelling critics and philosophers writing today provides a comprehensive and decisive investigation of European philosophy’s engagement with its ancient and enduring adversary. These studies are admirable for the clarity and attention to detail that they bring to often difficult texts. As a result, one begins to understand in new ways the ancient paradox that without poetry philosophy would be unable to recognize itself, and in the bargain philosophy becomes for poetry an indispensable poetics of words and things of the world. -- Gerald L.
