Product Description
In Death of the Soul, William Barrett, one of America's pre-eminent philosophers, presents an extraordinary and seamless narrative in which the entire march of modern history has been distilled. Its remarkable clarity enables all of us to see how philosophical thought has taken us to where we stand, and why questions of the soul figure so faintly in the minds of today's technocratic intellectuals.
New York Times:
"[The author] writes so lucidly that moving from his own prose to a quoted passage of Immanuel Kant's is like driving at 80 miles an hour off a turnpike into a mud flat."
Los Angeles Times Book Review:
"Barrett's arguments invite further discussion, testimony to the overall value of an accessible book of philosophy."
Kirkus Reviews:
"While most philosophers' words are lumps of lead, Barrett's phrases soar off the page and into the understanding."
