MIND

After reading my first book, the philosopher Bryan Magee wrote to me and said that "It is very good; but the best thing about it is not anything it says but the promise it shows...so if you keep an open mind and keep thinking you have a good chance of producing something that is *really* good in itself". This book is the fulfillment of that promise. It is the first to combine music and literature with philosophy. The philosopher Frederick C. Beiser described the book as "enjoyable and remarkable", and the philosopher Beatrice Longuenesse called it "an intellectual achievement", "unique", and "a profound self-expression".
