So claims Bertrand Russell at the outset of In Praise of Idleness, a collection of essays in which he espouses the virtues of cool reflection and free enquiry; a voice of calm in a world of maddening unreason. From a devastating critique of the ancestry of fascism to a vehement defence of 'useless' knowledge, with consideration given to everything from insect pests to the human soul, this is a tour de force that only Bertrand Russell could perform.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: Philosophy & SpiritualityBook Series: Routledge ClassicsRelease Year: 2004 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
