Reviews

This volume represents the best that philosophy has to offer the contemporary world: deeply probing, reflective responses to a world in crisis. The reader will find in these essays precisely the kind of original thought and sensitivity to present and future uncertainty demanded by a global pandemic. Most impressively, they will find a refusal to flee the vulnerability that is our human condition. - Diane Enns, Ryerson University An extraordinary, timely, provocative, and engrossing volume. Benso collects an exceptional range of Italian voices, all of whom are rooted in their own cultural points of reference yet widely conversant with global thought in a Continental idiom, as they confront philosophically an experience with which we are all grappling. - Jason M. Wirth, Seattle University
