Encountering the Beautiful: New Review!

2/23/2019

 
Picture
You may have previously seen Steven Knepper's insightful and generous reviews of Some Permanent Things and The Hanging God, in The University Bookman.  I have been broadcasting the latter for a couple weeks now, as it is such a satisfaction.  In the new issue of Humanitas, Knepper has reviewed The Vision of the Soul: Truth, Goodness, and Beauty in the Western Tradition.  His is the first review to engage thoroughly with the argument and to specify the effort the book makes, among many contemporary efforts, to renew a rich everyday metaphysics in philosophy and in the world more generally.

If you click the Vision of the Soul cover at left, it will take you to my Sightings page, where you can quickly click on any or all of Knepper's reviews.  Humanitas is not online, and so this will be the only place most people can read that excellent little essay unto itself.
