Reviews
-
Britain's most eminent publicly engaged philosopher
Scotland on Sunday
-
If there is any such person in Britain as The Thinking man, it is A. C. Grayling
The Times
-
Grayling is particularly good at illuminating the knottiness of moral discourse
Sunday Times
-
There is an immense depth of human wisdom on display here, and five minutes with any passage will have you contemplating all day
Independent on The Good Book
-
Very interesting … His account of the transition from magic to science is fascinating, and he demonstrates persuasively that the 17th century did indeed see a revolution in habits of thought and understanding of the physical world
Allan Massie, Scotsman
-

Glasgow Herald
