About the Author :
David Weissman is Professor of Philosophy at City College of New York and the author of many books, including Lost Souls: The Philosophic Origins of a Cultural Dilemma, also published by SUNY Press.

Review :
"I do not know of any philosopher who writes so engagingly and insightfully about such controversial and complex topics as David Weissman. What is truly remarkable is that he never purchases clarity at the price of simplification: he takes up inherently difficult matters in a consistently clear and engaging manner." -- Vincent M. Colapietro, author of Fateful Shapes of Human Freedom: John William Miller and the Crises
