Eros and Irony by David L Hall

Eros and Irony by David L Hall

Hall provides a historical survey of philosophic thought, encompassing Plato, Kant, Wittgenstein, Heidegger, and Whitehead. He also avails himself of sources outside of philosophy, in such diverse fields as poetry, psychology, physics, and Eastern religion, to create a work that not only addresses key issues in philosophy, but also has deep implications for science, art, religion, morality, and cultural self-understanding.

"One cannot read this book without being challenged to the core about the way in which he perceives the worldIt is interesting, provocative, and engagingly written." — Donald Crosby, Professor of Philosophy, Colorado State University

"Hall's work is a rather extraordinary achievement. He discusses with imagination and authority issues ranging over the entire history of philosophy and with special relevance to contemporary cultural situations. It is a wonderful piece of work." — Eliot Deutsch, Professor of Philosophy, University of Hawaii

David L. Hall is Professor in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Texas at El Paso. He is the author of The Arimaspian Eye; Eros and Irony: A Prelude to Philosophical Anarchism; and co-author with Roger T. Ames of Thinking Through Confucius, all published by SUNY Press.
