Following the tremendous success of The Meaning of Things and The Cause of Things, the third collection of best-selling essays from the leading British philosopher.
“The human generation has done much and promises much, in the direction of removing the mystery from many things in our world; at the same time, it recognizes and honors the mystery in things.”
In this collection, A.C. Grayling expands the scope of his two previous books to show how much one can understand oneself and one’s world, reflecting on the teachings offered by science, the arts (including literature), and history. He covers a variety of topics such as Jane Austen's EMMA, the Rosetta Stone, Shakespeare, the Holocaust, quantum physics, Galileo, and even alien abductions.
A.C. Grayling's latest collection is a rich source for reflection and contemplation around the mysteries of life.
