  • Joyce's Ulysses. Philosophical Perspectives. Oxford University Press, 2020. 280p. Paperback. Series: Oxford Studies in Philosophy and Literature. This excellent volume does an admirable job of examining Ulysses from a philosophical perspective without, as too often happens, becoming reductionist in its approach to either philosophy or literature...The six essays it contains...work together in a number of complex and extremely suggestive ways...The volume thus creates the feeling of an intelligent conversation between friends (each with their own distinctive point of view) rather than a forced attempt to cover a series of topics.... [T]his volume is to be highly commended for its discovery of a genuinely philosophic approach to Ulysses, one that does not attempt to dig out the hidden 'message' buried in the writing, but that understands that the writing itself is the message...As this volume has admirably shown, Joyce's philosophy is not a lesson he included somewhere in Ulysses, it is Ulysses.
