Reviews

  

In this new collection A.C. Grayling adds to the variety of discussion and
insight in his previous three essay collections. He returns to questions of
personal ethics and the problems of the contemporary world, but also looks at the lives and ideas of great thinkers, the role of the arts in civilisation, and the need for reason everywhere

Anthony Grayling illustrates in his celebrated accessible prose what each area offers to thought. In a wide-ranging array of illuminating topics, THE HEART OF THINGS shows how far-reaching Grayling's masterly, and timely, commentary on the humanities is to general readers.

 

"Grayling is never silly, he has a wonderful fund of apt quotations... Grayling makes one ruminate."
