Face

The face circulates through most things of this world: anything that has presence, that presents itself, that has a front, a surface, an appearance, an aspect, a reputation, or honor - anything that confronts, opposes, or defies - has a face. And the face is a front: from the back it is just a head, a radically different entity. In this exciting new book - and sadly his last before his untimely death - distinguished philosopher Marty Roth pursues considerations of the human face in art, literature, philosophy, and other manifestations of human culture.
