Reviews for Cultural Hermeneutics: Essays after Unamuno and Ricoeur
I would encourage readers to approach the book as if it were a tour through a curio shop. The author shows us interesting artefacts that he has discovered through his travels and shares his stories about them. When approached in this manner, the book is a delightful companion.
