Review
Fiction prevails over reality, image over object, machine over man. Such is the process of internalizing the Other that Steven Carter presents in this most disquieting, but nevertheless entertaining book.--Dorota Janowska, Marie Curie-Sklodowska University
Carter's book provides a fascinating read and thought-provoking insights.--Dr. Pauline M. Kaurin, Pacific Lutheran University "Bridges "
Steven Carter has, I believe, made an important contribution to the study of metaphysics in our time. Such a voice ought to be heard.--Arthur J. Spring, St. John's University "From The Foreword "
To their credit, Carter's books make honorable attempts to shore against our ruins a devotion to the powers of erudition, critical analysis, and judgment. In the words of Ezra Pound in Canto LXXXI, 'Here error is all in the not done, all in the diffidence that faltered. . .' For Steven Carter, these are words to live by.--Edwin J. Barton, Bakersfield College
