Reviews

Catherine Homan makes a compelling case for poetic education beginning with Hoelderlin's appeal to the creative arts in the 19th Century. Weaving imaginatively different play traditions from the hermeneutic encounter with Gadamer and Fink to the social justice concerns of Gloria Anzaldua, Mariana Ortega, and bell hooks, Hohman brings an original perspective to philosophy of education, arguing for language to be attuned to dialogical interplay and affectively rooted in the world. With her focus on an ethics of vulnerability, drawing on Paul Celan's poetry, her book serves as an important corrective to play narratives in the hermeneutic tradition that merely tarry with the aesthetic. --Mechthild Nagel, SUNY Cortland
