We’re pleased to announce that Essays in Metaphysics and Moral Philosophy: Considering the Views of Donald Phillip Verene is now available as an ebook.
This volume gathers essays by former students of Donald Phillip Verene (Charles Howard Candler Professor Emeritus of Metaphysics and Moral Philosophy and former Director of the Institute of Vico Studies at Emory University) reflecting on the philosophical tradition he has spent a career cultivating. Drawing on Vico’s New Science, Hegel’s Phenomenology, Cassirer’s Philosophy of Symbolic Forms, and Joyce’s Finnegans Wake, Verene’s work calls philosophy back to its roots in imagination, memory, and the life of the mind. The essays in this collection — from contributors including Raymond Barfield, Thora Ilin Bayer, Glenn Alexander Magee, and Scott Samuelson, among others — take up that call, exploring speculative philosophy, humane education, symbolic form, Vico, and the art of the examined life.
If you believe, as Verene does, that philosophy is a kind of literature and that thinking is inseparable from living well, this is a volume worth sitting with.
Essays in Metaphysics and Moral Philosophy is available now in both print and ebook editions.
