Book review: The World at a Glance

"The World at a Glance is ... a challenging book, in every positive sense of the word. ... The book’s analyses are simultaneously wide-ranging and incredibly detailed, reflecting, no doubt intentionally, the very diversity and singularity of its subject matter. The depth of Casey’s knowledge of the history of philosophy is remarkable, and his commentaries on the writings of Benjamin, Heidegger, Levinas, Merleau-Ponty, and Derrida, to name just a few, are subtle and illuminating. ... Yet while Casey’s thinking is always informed by that of others, he develops a truly original line of inquiry." —Continental Philosophy Review
