Self and World: An Explanation of Aesthetic Realism

by Eli Siegel

“[Self and World] calls for more fairness to all reality….The prose is fresh and clear….a book that is new — revolutionary — on every one of its 400 pages….Whether child or adult is spoken of, this book sees a person’s concerns with dignity and compassion.”
