William Desmond is David Cook Chair in Philosophy at Villanova University, and Professor of Philosophy Emeritus at the Institute of Philosophy, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven.
"This is a radiant book, as beautiful as it is profound. Indeed--as
Desmond consistently demonstrates in all his work, but here with a
special power--the profoundest philosophical reflection must
necessarily be the most beautiful."
--David Bentley Hart, Notre Dame Institute for Advanced Study
"In this profound and searching book, Desmond shows once again that
he is a master at 'dancing lightly in the service of thought'
(Kierkegaard). He does not hesitate to draw on everything that
might lend itself--philosophy, poetry, drama, art, film, music,
nature, and major and minor experiences of life--to make manifest
the brilliant light of beauty, without for all that simply
dispelling its mysterious darkness."
--D.C. Schindler, author of Love and the Postmodern Predicament:
Rediscovering the Real in Beauty, Goodness, and Truth.
