Seller's Description:
New York. 1975. February 1975. Random House. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0394495969. 275 pages. hardcover. keywords: Literature England Hungary Politics Essays. FROM THE PUBLISHER-The first collection of Koestler's essays since 1968. The author writes: In spite of their diversity, these essays were intended as variations on certain themes, and are grouped accordingly. The first section has as its leitmotif the predicament of man; the book reviews, too, have a certain thematic coherence and are related to that theme: the section called 'Nothing But---? attacks the prevailing materialist philosophy from a different angle, and even the article on chess champions and chess computers has a direct bearing on the subject of Mind and Machine. The last essay, dealing with certain disastrous aspects of Gandhi's life and philosophy-which are largely unknown to the public-is intended to redress the balance by stressing the dangers of taking shortcuts from Western materialism to Eastern mysticism. ***Whether he is addressing a learned society on education or psychiatry, discussing ESP, reporting the Fischer v Spassky world chess championship, or speculating about the possibility of Gandhi having exercised a more harmful influence than is generally supposed, Koestler is always controversial, forthright, stimulating and-above all-intensely readable inventory #35288.
