Trade ReviewIt is no exaggeration to say that Edward Casey is an extraordinary philosopher. And this book, consisting of an excellent introduction surveying the entirety of Casey’s work, a deeply probing interview, and thoughtful essays on Casey’s philosophical contributions by colleagues and former students, is much more than testimony to Casey’s influence. Exploring the remarkable range of his thought as the most creative, most exciting, most provocative inheritor of Husserlian phenomenology, the contributions to this volume take the reader on an unforgettable journey. To describe the significance and reward of his thought, I will borrow a concept that he has investigated with impressive rigor and simply say that he is one of the very few whose writing is on the cutting edge. -- David Kleinberg-Levin, Professor Emeritus, Northwestern University, USA, author of 'Gestures of Ethical Life' and 'Before the Voice of Reason'
Edward S. Casey is widely known for his honest, attentive openness to phenomena, for his finely nuanced accounts of experience, and for his compelling descriptions of our shared world. The essays and interviews that comprise this work confirm that Casey numbers among the most incisive and creative philosophers today, making original contributions to fields broadly conceived as epistemology, aesthetics, the history of philosophy, and human geography. -- Anthony Steinbock, Professor of Philosophy, Southern Illinois University Carbondale, USA
