New Aphorisms & Reflections cover

New Aphorisms & Reflections: Second Series, the fifth volume of a major work in progress, features more than 400 entries, some of which are autobiographical. Like its predecessors, New Aphorisms & Reflections includes a sampling of "meetings of the minds"—dialogues between the author and aphorists and thinkers of the past.

Steven Carter has, I believe, made an important contribution to the study of metaphysics in our time. Such a voice ought to be heard. -- Arthur J. Spring PhD, St. John's University
To their credit, Steven Carter's books make honorable attempts to shore against our ruins a devotion to the powers of erudition, critical analysis, and judgement. In the words of Ezra Pound in Canto LXXXI, 'Here error is all in the not done,/all in the diffidence that faltered. . .' For Steven Carter, these are words to live by. -- Edwin J. Barton, Bakersfield College
Steven Carter's triumph is to have established a sort of universal ethic of 'how to be,' while promoting at the same time a holistic view of human beings in individual social, cultural, and psychological contexts. -- Amelia de Moura Tavares, University of Lisbon
Fiction prevails over reality, image over object, machine over man. Such is the process of internalizing the Other that Steven Carter presents in his most disquieting, but nevertheless entertaining works. -- Dorota Janowska, Marie Curie-Sklodowska University
Steven Carter has acquitted himself well. -- James Geary, author of All Aphorisms, All The Time and Geary's Guide to the World's Great Aphorists
