Jean Gabbert Harrell is Professor Emerita of Philosophy at California State University, Hayward.

“Profundity is a book of strong originality and argumentative power. Jean Harrell’s argument that profundity, to be found in the sense of the primal worth of all human life, is a subjective universal, grounded in prenatal and neonatal experience and manifested in art and religion as a basic experience, is important for scholars of aesthetics and ethics. At the same time, because Harrell writes clearly and well, the book will interest those in religion, literature, and value theory.”—Arnold Berleant, Long Island University
