Reviews

"A pleasure to read. . . . Its literary qualities . . . resemble the sharp lines and bright colors of a fine Mondrian or the austere elegance of good modernist architecture. . . . [A] comprehensive statement of the mature views of one of the most creative philosophers of his generation."-Philip L. Quinn, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews "[Frankfurt's] little book provides the rare pleasure of witnessing an agile and sensitive mind grappling with an issue of universal importance."-Eric Ormsby, New York Sun "Well worth reading."-Berel Dov Lerner, Practical Philosophy "A thought-provoking work that should appeal to those interested in love, practical reasoning, and questions concerning the good life."-Jason Kawall, Philosophy in Review
