Trade Review
"Rich and thought-provoking, The Experience of Meaning will change the way you see the world. I literally could not put this book down and I think all readers will be as entranced as I was, although it may resonate differently in each of them." Marjorie Senechal, Smith College
"The Experience of Meaning is a courageous, profound book – broad in scope, yet scholarly and concise. It is truly a joy to read." Nina Belmonte, University of Victoria
"The Experience of Meaning paints a troubling portrait of our age. Unmitigated allegiance to rational, technocratic logic has annihilated our ability to perceive meaning. To revive this capacity would mean seeing our world anew. Not needing words to describe it or objective measures to assess it, we would be able to appreciate the integrity and wholeness of music, poems, biospheres, or even the liminal, outer- worldly process of ushering new life into this fragile and broken world." Montreal Review of Books
"An enjoyable and thought-provoking read." Choice
