Cultural Studies

The new bestseller from one of Britain's most pre-eminent philosophers and arguably the best know, A.C. Grayling
In this new collection A.C. Grayling extends the range of his previous two books to show how much understanding people can gain about themselves and their world by reflecting on the lessons offered by science, the arts (including literature) and history. 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.
