Edward F. Mooney takes us into the lived philosophies of Melville, Kierkegaard, Henry Bugbee, and others who write deeply in ways that bring philosophy and religion into the fabric of daily life, in its simplicities, crises, and moments of communion and joy. Along the way Mooney explores meditations on wilderness, on the enigma of self-deception, the role of maternal love and the pain of separations, and the pervasiveness of “difficult reality” where valuable things are presented to us under two (or more) aspects at once.

Edward F. Mooney is Professor Emeritus in Religion and Philosophy at Syracuse University, USA. He is the author of Excursions with Thoreau: Philosophy, Poetry, Religion (Bloomsbury 2015) and nine other books, including Lost Intimacy in American Thought (Bloomsbury. 2009), and On Søren Kierkegaard: Dialogue, Polemic, Lost Intimacy and Time (2007). His work has been translated into French, Japanese, Hebrew, and Portuguese.
