编辑推荐 Review
"...Midgley may be the most frightening philosopher in the country: ...before whom it is least pleasant to appear a fool." -- The Guardian

'Mary Midgely is a philosopher with what many have come to admire, and some to fear, as one of the sharpest critical pens in the West.' - Steven Rose, author of The Conscious Brain

I have now read the book twice, not because it is difficult (on the contrary it reads with the ease and elegance of Bertrand Russell), but because it is so stimulating. - Brian Masters, The Spectator

Mary Midgely is a philosopher with what many have come to admire, and some to fear, as one of the sharpest critical pens in the West.
–Steven Rose, author of Theritical Conscious Brain

Mary Midgley may be the most frightening philosopher in the country: the one before whom it is least pleasant to appear a fool.
–The Guardian

Mrs Midgley has set out to delineate not so much the nature as the sources of wickedness. Though she calls the book a philosophical essay, it is more a contribution to psychology. The book is clearly written, with a refreshing absence of technical jargon, and each chapter is followed by a useful summary of its principal arguments.
–The Listener

The Routledge Classics, an intellectually compelling, and sometimes daunting, selection of important nonfiction originally published by the leftish Routledge or one of its imprints.[a] superb and welcome series.
–Martin Levin, Globe & Mail
