Julian Johnson, Music and Letters Journal A remarkable book, with a wide scope and a clear, compelling main thesis. In this book, Robinson convincingly shows how the expression and experience of emotion play a central role in the appreciation and creation of artworks... Robinson says in her epilogue that one of her ambitions in the book has been to marry the Two Cultures, the scientific and the humanistic. And indeed her book succeeds marvelously in this respect. Though there has been increasing attention to scientific research by philosophers in recent years, and some classic works of philosophy of art involve careful analyses of particular works of art in some detail, rarely (if ever) have these two approaches to philosophy been combined so carefully and so seamlessly. I hope that Robinson's book will encourage other philosophers to make use of both the humanistic and scientific resources essential to the serious philosophical study of art and emotion. James Harold, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews Everything about Jenefer Robinson's long awaited book, Deeper than Reason, is absolutely first rate... This is surely one of the most impressive works in philosophy of art to be produced in recent memory, and will be widely read as well as copiously commented on in the years to come. It was well worth waiting for. Peter Kivy, British Journal of Aesthetics ...relevant to the patient student of philosophy who will be interested in the insights from contemporary psychology and the systematic sifting of diverse aesthetic theories.
