"Richard Kearney and David Rasmussen must be congratulated on their
judicious selection of the main texts in continental aesthetics.
Indeed, the result is so successful that the volume could as
readily serve as a textbook for a course in continental philosophy
as for a course in aesthetics. This volume surpasses all previous
collections in the area." Robert Bernasconi, University of
Memphis
"Collecting key selections from influential texts, this
Anthology displays a wide range of important European
theorists, past and present, and should prove very useful for
courses in aesthetics and literary theory." Richard Shusterman,
Temple University, author of Pragmatist Aesthetics
