Reviews

Murray E. Littlejohn has prepared a gift for those new to Richard Kearney's work and a valuable compendium for those already familiar. It is an exceptional constellation of essays that map the contours of Kearney's ranging conversations and comprehensive writings on the imagination. More than this, it is a catalyst for further reflections on the imagination with Kearney and the philosophical hermeneutical tradition from which he was formed. Such reflections are vital for our times disciplined by imaginations contained, embraced, and subjected by economic and technological rationalities, wherein nothing and no one remains exempt from the market or the machine. Kearney's writings, as this collection has gathered, offer help-help to imagine again, to imagine differently. -- Ashley Moyse, McDonald Postdoctoral Fellow in Christian Ethics and Public Life, University of Oxford
