Table of ContentsReviewsIn this wide-ranging exploration of wonder - its philosophic history, its psychological manifestations, its political implications - Lloyd reclaims its ancient connection to the liberating activities of the imagination. She traces the transformation of Platonic and Aristotelian wonder as the beginning of inquiry to Flaubert's evocation of its stupefaction and Arendt's solemn attentiveness. The book concludes with a sensitive account of the role of wonder in facing the impasses of political dogmas as well as in prompting their imaginative re-visions. Lloyd uses her reclamation of wonder to illuminate our bewilderment, despair... and inventiveness in the face of radical Otherness.-- ""Amélie Rorty, Harvard Medical School and Tufts University"" "In this wide-ranging exploration of wonder - its philosophic history, its psychological manifestations, its political implications - Lloyd reclaims its ancient connection to the liberating activities of the imagination.
