D. Andrew Yost is an attorney and lecturer in philosophy at the University of Colorado, Denver. He is the author of The Amorous Imagination: Individuating the Other-as-Beloved (2021).
"The rare book on a perennial theme that combines clear reasoning
and solid scholarly research with a lot of heart--perfect for these
all-too-often cynical times."
--Jere Surber, University of Denver
"Within the contemporary resurgence of philosophy-as-practice, The
Romantic Life relentlessly pursues a form of life grounded in
poetic meaning and action. What Massimo Pigliucci did for Stoicism
or Catherine Wilson for Epicureanism, Andrew Yost accomplishes for
Romanticism, showing us how to find meaning in a disenchanted
world."
--Benjamin John Peters, author of Narrativizing Theories: An
Aesthetic of Ambiguity
"What can the Romantics teach us 'moderns'? Nothing less than how
to live a full and meaningful life. In a style that is as
accessible as it is sincere, Andrew Yost draws on his profound
knowledge and love of Romantic philosophy, poetry, and art in order
to challenge the wonderless cynicism of our disenchanted, secular
age. An impassioned mix of cultural critique and practical wisdom,
The Romantic Life is spiritual nourishment for world-weary
souls."
--Gregory J. Grobmeier, Regis University
