Rezension

'Return of the Grasshopper is a long-awaited and much anticipated addition to our literature. It bears testimony to Suits' remarkably fertile mind and his twin philosophic gifts for making bold assertions and raising puzzling questions. In this rich collection, Suits does both in a most provocative way.'

Scott Kretchmar, Professor Emeritus, Penn State University, USA

'This is the book that followers of the Grasshopper need! Return of the Grasshopper expands on Suits' thoughts on utopia, death, and the good life in fascinating and tantalizing ways. Additionally, López Frías and Yorke's introduction offers a clear and engaging background to Suits' life and works.'

Christopher Bartel, Professor of Philosophy, Appalachian State University, USA

'A must-read for Suits scholars and anyone who was captivated by his whimsical presentation of ideas about games, language, and utopia in The Grasshopper. Suits' sequel shows, once again, that analytic philosophy can address important questions--and be a lot of fun.'

J.S. Russell, Faculty Emeritum, Langara College, Canada and former editor of the Journal of the Philosophy of Sport

'No philosopher combines whimsy and profundity as successfully as Suits. This volume is a true gift.'

Gwen Bradford, Associate Professor of Philosophy, Department of Philosophy, Rice University, USA
