About the Author:

Charles Hartshorne is Ashbel Smith Professor Emeritus at the University of Texas at Austin. In a long and distinguished career, he has taught at Harvard, the University of Chicago, Emory University, the University of Texas, and the University of Washington; lectured at more than a hundred colleges and universities in the United States and abroad; written nearly 20 books and hundreds of essays; and has been president of five learned societies. His books Insights and Oversights of Great Thinkers: An Evaluation of Western Philosophy, Omnipotence and Other Theological Mistakes, and Creativity in American Philosophy are also published by SUNY Press.

Review:
“In crystal clear, arresting, and often humorous prose, Hartshorne defends and elaborates the thesis that wisdom seeks the aesthetic mean between boredom and chaos. The best philosophy and the best way to live is an aesthetic mean between positions that are extreme by virtue of exaggeration or purification. His argument advances on two levels. On the theoretical level it explains a theory of aesthetic beauty as a kind of moderation and illustrates the workings of moderation in discussions of diet, lifestyle, religion, politics, economics, and the integration of humans with animal life and with the earth. Hartshorne charms us with the warmth, wit, and wisdom of his philosophic personality.” ― Robert Cummings Neville
