"The very best feature of "The Enchantment of Modern Life" is the
way it performs its own thesis: it is an enchanting, wonderful, and
generous book that edifies and elevates the reader."--Moira Gatens,
University of Sydney
"This book is a delight to read. Bennett has a remarkable talent
for both being imaginative and yet not letting the enchantment of
this flight lead her to fail in the task of carefully engaging
those with whom she disagrees. She is enacting her own ideal of
generosity while forging a powerful and original vision of late
modern life. The core strength of this book lies in the way it
draws the reader to entertain a distinctively different way of
experiencing the world. No small achievement."--Stephen K. White,
Virginia Tech, and Editor of Political Theory
"Bennett can do what others have not yet been able to do because
she goes to the heart of the matter, to the foundation of those who
claim to be foundationless, namely, to our underlying presumptions
about the character of the material universe. She is a wonderful
writer; her prose is crisp and clear, full of startling and
enchanting formulations. The general effect of her book is to
induce in us moments of enchantment, the ethical significance of
which Bennett makes clear: she endeavors to attach us to the world,
to bring forth our love for life, so that we are inspired to
exercise greater care toward humanity and the material universe in
which we live."--Melissa Orlie, University of Illinois at
Urbana-Champaign
""The Enchantment of Modern Life" has something very rare in an
academic work: a mission. Even rarer, its sense of mission comes at
no one's expense. The project is at once scholarly and ethical,
seamlessly, integrally. This is not just another treatment of
modernity. It is an exemplar, offering a gentle cure--a modernity
of wonder--to the critical-cynical detachment that has been the
hallmark of the humanities theorist for too long."--Brian Massumi,
State University of New York at Albany
