Trade Review
"This is an outstanding collection of fine essays, linked by a common theme. All too often essay collections from a full career are overly repetitive and fairly arbitrary in their assemblage. This collection is neither." -- -Marjorie Miller Professor of Philosophy Emerita, Purchase College "Grossman is a contrarian, flying in the face of established opinions. He delights in surprising juxtapositions that stimulate the imagination. His insights into music and the dramatic nature of philosophy make this volume an instructive pleasure to read." -- -John Lachs Vanderbilt University
