The Aesthetic Turn
Reading Eliot Deutsch on Comparative Philosophy

Edited by Roger Ames

In this latest volume of Open Court's "Critics and Their Critics" series, ten leaders in the field of comparative philosophy discuss and comment on the ideas of Eliot Deutsch. These original essays cover a range of topics, including mysticism, aesthetics, truth, personal development, and religious and personal freedom.

Deutsch's careful reading and penetrating replies to the essays make this book an essential contribution to comparative philosophy.

"This lively book highlights the thought of Eliot Deutsch and other leading figures who have made comparison of Asian and Western traditions an important part of philosophy."
