ADDITIONAL REVIEWS:

"Tzachi Zamir's Double Vision: Moral Philosophy and Shakespearean Drama is a thoughtful and impressive book about literature's connection to moral knowledge. Of particular note is Double Vision's double objective: it is both a work about our ethical engagement with literature and a work that engages us ethically with literature."--Stephanie Partridge, The Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism

ENDORSEMENTS:

"This is the best book on the relationship between philosophy and literature that I have seen in a long time. The philosophical analysis is cogent and extensive, offering much more philosophical detail than most books in this line. The responses to opponents of philosophical interpretation are very imaginative and convincing. And the readings of Shakespeare are stunning in their insightfulness, textual detail, and fruitfulness for philosophical reflection."--Martha Nussbaum, University of Chicago

"This is an original and important book. I shall urge my colleagues to read it, and I look forward to citing it in my own work. His readings of Shakespeare will be of great value to literary critics, and I think will help to sell literature to philosophers."--William Flesch, Brandeis University
