The Ethics of Life and Death with Heinrich von Kleist

"Because of the humanitarian interest and approach, Dr. Baker's text appeals to enlightened readers, across the disciplines. It is a sensitive portrayal of a quest for life's meaning as presented on the example of the life and works of a renowned German writer." (Hans-Wilhelm Kelling, Brigham Young University)
"Dr. Baker has captured the essential elements of Kleist's writings and sculpted them into a readable and enjoyable presentation. His insights into the philosophies explored by Kleist offer every reader a significant view into the literary works of this brilliant but enigmatic early nineteenth-century writer." (Mark E. Hurst, university of Utah)
