Review
In its entirety, this book makes an excellent contribution to the theoretical understanding of emotion, particularly as it relates to the arts...the largest contribution Robinson's work makes is in revealing the definite interconnection between emotion and art, and the importance of art to a "fully human life". (Curtis Fogel, Minds and Machines)
A remarkable book, with a wide scope and a clear, compelling main thesis. In this book, Robinson convincingly shows how the expression and experience of emotion play a central role in the appreciation and creation of artworks. . . . Robinson says in her epilogue that one of her ambitions in the book has been to marry the "Two Cultures," the scientific and the humanistic. And indeed her book succeeds marvelously in this respect. Though there has been increasing attention to scientific research by philosophers in recent years, and some classic works of philosophy of art involve careful analyses of particular works of art in some detail, rarely (if ever) have these two approaches to philosophy been combined so carefully and so seamlessly. I hope that Robinson's book will encourage other philosophers to make use of both the humanistic and scientific resources essential to the serious philosophical study of art and emotion. (James Harold, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews)
Everything about Jenefer Robinson's long awaited book, Deeper than Reason, is absolutely first rate... This is surely one of the most impressive works in philosophy of art to be produced in recent memory, and will be widely read as well as copiously commented on in the years to come. It was well worth waiting for. (Peter Kivy, British Journal of Aesthetics)
...a thought-provoking joy to read and would make excellent required reading in a classroom setting. Robinson deftly ilustrates the historical landscape of aesthetic theory, and emotion theory from philosophical, psychological, behaviourist, and neuro-physiological perspectives, and the book is surprisingly ambitious in the sheer number of thinkers whose works are discussed over the course of the book. (Consciousness, Literature and the Arts)
