Reviews for The Rhythm of Thought. Art, Literature, and Music After Merleau-Ponty.
"In this pioneering and original study, Wiskus shows how Merleau-Ponty leads philosophy to a creative threshold-the place where thought and music merge.... A captivating experiment in thought and expression." (Richard Kearney, Boston College)
