To Turn the Soul: Essays Inspired by Jacob Klein
To Turn the Soul collects fourteen essays (three by Eva Brann) inspired by the life and thought of philosopher Jacob Klein. The contributors have been animated by Klein's legacy--whether because they knew him, studied at St. John's College, the institution he shaped, or found his writings a rich stimulus for thought and exploration. While the majority of the essays are based primarily on the study of Klein's writings, they all take up an inquiry inspired by an encounter with his work. Their goal is to deepen or expand Klein's thought by exploring its consequences, or traveling down avenues of investigation that Klein himself pursued and in some cases even initiated. The essays are offered in the hope that they inspire others to read Klein's writings and think for themselves about the matters he takes up in them.
