Praise for this book

Langer has brought to light ideas of astonishing depth, exactness, power and reach . . . The emanations may well leave their trace on all of us.

-- "Washington Post"

A great and beautiful work of genius . . . A conceptual scheme of such radiance that no one who wishes to think deeply about mentality and behavior will be able to do without it.
