<p>"The essays are well written, interesting, and to the point. Anyone concerned with phenomenological or existential philosophy could profitably read the book, as would those with a more general philosophical interest." — Edward Goodwin Ballard</p><p>"It contains a very fine assortment of well-written essays that are clearly thought out. Several provide important comment on, and retrospective estimation of, the influence of phenomenology and existentialism on academic philosophy in the U.S."— Fred Kersten</p>
