Obama & the Legacy of Pragmatic American Metaphysics

[Keith Davis]

OK, sold. I just ordered a copy.

We were recently discussing James Hillman. I just today finished reading,
"We've had a Hundred Years of Psychotherapy..." This is an excellent book
and I recommend it highly. It's in the form of dialogues, spoken and in
letters, and goes off in lots of directions. Lots of ideas flying around.
What a great read!
