The Deliverance of Others : Reading Literature in a Global Age
The Deliverance of Others is a compelling reappraisal of the idea that narrative literature can expand readers' empathy.

In th…

Conversations with Kenelm : Essays on the Theology of the Commedia
In a celebratory moment of the Paradiso, Dante has Thomas go round the circle of sage spirits identifying each in turn in point of proper calling and confirming how it is that self is everywhere present to the other-than-self as a co-efficient of being in the endless and endlessly varied instantiation of that being. The image, at once perfectly Dantean and perfectly resplendent, underlies and i…

The book conceives of social pr…

Are We Comparing Yet? : On Standards, Justice, and Incomparability
Debates about the possibility of an open culture - or indeed about the possibility of an open debate about the openness of culture - often turn on questions of standards. But since no benchmark can be absolute, judgement is a proliferation of comparisons.Through a series of case studies in everyday and academic comparison (literature, history, politics, philosophy), Haun Saussy calls out the ty…
