“Cultural Anatomies of the Heart in Aristotle, Augustine, Aquinas, Calvin, and Harvey … promise an exhaustive march through the cultural history of the heart by way of the varied thinkers … Boyle aims to creatively juxtapose the natural-scientific study of the cardiac vessel and the multiple valences of the ‘heart’ across two millennia of philosophical reflection.” (Sean Hannan, Reading Religion, readingreligion.org, May 18, 2019)
