If you were raised with the idea that art and emotion were external to ideas and reason, you must read this book. It grounds philosophy in our most visceral experience. - George Lakoff, author of Moral Politics Author InformationMark Johnson is the Knight Professor of Liberal Arts and Sciences in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Oregon.
