Description

Book Synopsis
Combining a deep knowledge of psychology, cultural anthropology, art history, and the history of religions - not to mention philosophy, this book demonstrates the unpredictability of writing and thought and how they can teach us about our experiences.

Trade Review
"The desirability of having a book that draws together the interesting and important thought of an influential philosopher is not mysterious or controversial. But what is the aim of drawing together Scharfstein's essays? Perhaps, partly, it is a meta-philosophical workshop, a picture of how a philosopher is able to, over the course of decades, practice a 'generalized attentiveness,' and in doing so 'disregard the borders' of the disciplines. The book makes vivid and compelling Scharfstein's longstanding opposition to philosophical self-isolation." (Victor Kestenbaum, Boston University)"
