Reviews

""I think the work is a major event in the American appropriation of European philosophical and aesthetic theory. It is active and creative rather than slavish and derivative. Most important of all, it is a book from which I learned something."" - Bernard Flynn, Empire State College ""I especially admire its scope and erudition, its richness of allusion, reference, and quotation. It is rare to read a text that so intelligently weaves together material from so many disciplines."" - David Michael Levin, Northwestern University
