"This is an amazingly broad-ranging book, full of original ideas and associations that make it both a pleasure and a challenge to read. . . . I found that many of Nehamas's ideas and arguments resonated in my mind for weeks after reading this book."--Shadi Bartsch, author of Ideology in Cold Blood
"Combining, as he does, philosophy, literature, and classical studies, Nehamas has written an exceptionally fine book--creative, original, readable, stimulating, and extremely useful."--A.A. Long, University of California, Berkeley
