Bertrand Russell In Praise Of Idleness and Other Essays-闲暇颂及其他随笔

作者：Bertrand Russell

书名：In Praise Of Idleness and Other Essays《闲暇颂及其他随笔》

简介：Intolerance and bigotry lie at the heart of all human suffering. So claims Bertrand Russell at the outset of In Praise of Idleness, a collection of essays in which he espouses the virtues of cool reflection and free inquiry; a voice of calm in a world of maddening unreason. From a devastating critique of the ancestry of fascism to a vehement defense of 'useless' knowledge, with consideration given to everything from insect pests to the human soul, this is a tour de force that only Bertrand Russell could perform.
