      A complete study of the American prodigy whose career seemed to be crashing as spectacularly as it had soared until relocating to England redeemed him. His streamlined seat and acute judgement of pace - validated by the innovative sectional timings of the author, a trailblazing advocate of their value to race analysis - inspired others.

      " Peut-être le temps est-il très proche où l'on s'avisera que la pierre angulaire des édifices sublimes et inconditionnés que les philosophes dogmatiques se sont plus à élever n'était au fond que superstition populaire venue d'un temps immémorial (comme la superstition de l'âme qui, devenue superstition du sujet et du moi, ne cesse aujourd'hui encore d'engendrer des méfaits), quelconque jeu de mots peut-être, suggestion aberrante de la grammaire, ou encore généralisation téméraire de quelques faits limités, très personnels, d'un caractère très humain, trop humain. Il semble que pour se graver, avec leurs exigences éternelles dans le cœur de l'humanité, toutes les grandes choses doivent d'abord errer à travers le monde sous la forme de masques monstrueux et effrayants ; l'un de ces masques fut la philosophie dogmatique, par exemple, l'invention platonicienne de l'esprit pur et du Bien en soi. Mais à présent qu'on en est venu à bout, que l'Europe respire et sort de ce cauchemar et qu'il lui est permis de jouir au moins ... d'un sommeil plus sain, nous, dont la tâche même est de veiller, avons hérité toute l'énergie qu'a grandement disciplinée le combat contre cette erreur ".

Written by experts for the newcomer, they demonstrate the finest contemporary thinking about the central problems and issues in hundreds of key topics, from philosophy to Freud, quantum theory to Islam.
