Erich Hatala Matthes is an Associate Professor and Chair of the Philosophy Department and Advisory Faculty for Environmental Studies at Wellesley College. His second book is What to Save and Why: Identity, Authenticity, and the Ethics of Conservation(Oxford, 2024).
"Engaging, personal and limpid, the book is a delight to read. Matthes proves himself to be not only a clear communicator of sometimes intricate ideas, but a deft one too. The text ripples with vivid examples, offbeat quips, instructive metaphors and personal reflections, which animate the problems it covers...The book is a gourmet hamburger: rich, yet down-to-earth, and unlikely to benefit from my unsolicited garnish of saffron and truffle oil. I encourage anyone vexed by immoral artists to tuck in." --Analysis"Matthes argues that we can recognize that a work of art has been worsened by the imortality of its creator, even to the point that we can no longer personally enjoy it, while accepting that others can still find it appealing." --Andy Lamey, Toronto Star"Hatala Matthes is thorough, nuanced and thoughtful throughout, Drawing the Line is a clear, lively exploration of an extremely important issue. It doesn't aim to be definitive, but it left me wanting more. It also made me want to sit down with a glass of wine and re-watch Love and Death." --Christina Patterson, Sunday Times
