Reviews

A groundbreaking exercise that demonstrates how the philosophy of language, often criticized as a purely ivory tower enterprise, may be applied in a positive manner to everyday life. Parker English helps us to interpolate the maxim, 'I am what I say, ' with regard to such diverse areas as race, ethnicity, literature, music, acting, ritual, and friendship in manners that enrich our appreciation of human understanding.--Barry Hallen
