Product Description

Mary Warnock

'I hugely enjoyed it'


Review

‘I hugely enjoyed it.’ Mary Warnock



'Not only a superbly lively account of being educated in the first half of the twentieth century, but a portrait of one of the most utterly sensible, accessible and humane philosophers of our age.' - Rowan Williams (Archbishop), Times Literary Supplement

'Her memoir is a warm and reassuring account of the value of civilised life and of the confidence it can provide.' - The Scotsman

˜This memoir contains humour as well as wit and is a joy to read.' The Tablet

'A warm and humorous memoir by one of the UKs leading moral philosophers. Many young students sense well enough that in the present darkness, articulate and well-informed understanding of their scientific civilization, its values and politics is necessary. They need their Midgleys.' Simon Blackburn, The New Scientist

'Insightful and enjoyable' TPM Online
