Reviews

Elegantly argued and often brilliant in its handling of diverse theoretical traditions, Ziarek's book will speak equally to those interested in the longer history of post-Kantian art-philosophy and to those working in the more recent discourses of critical theory... a major contribution to several scholarly fields at once, likely to become a touchstone for those seeking rigorous but enabling language for the ways in which modernism continues to matter. -- Dan Blanton, UC Berkeley
