Licia Carlson is an associate professor of philosophy at Providence
College.
Peter R. Costello is professor of philosophy at Providence College.
The appropriate audience for this volume is wide. It will be both
enjoyable and enlightening for professional and student
philosophers, artists, writers, and poets. The progression from
each piece to the next is both thoughtful and natural, thanks to
the editorial work of Carlson and Costello. In sum, this book
explores the relationships between artist and work, work and
witness, and artist and witness in a way that is meaningful and
interesting to anyone interested in either art (broadly construed)
or philosophy. . . . I thoroughly recommend this book to all who
are interested in phenomenology or art, as much can be learned from
this volume on both accounts.
