Description

Mary Midgley's work has challenged many of the scientific and moral orthodoxies of the twentieth century with her unique blend of philosophy and insight. This collection brings together some of her most thought-provoking ideas, including excerpts from her bestselling books.

The Essential Mary Midgley presents a comprehensive overview of her key topics, such as the roots of human nature, reason and imagination, and the importance of holism in thinking about science and the environment. With a specially written foreword by James Lovelock, this anthology offers a superb insight into Midgley's renowned sharp prose.

Featuring carefully selected excerpts from Wickedness, Beast and Man, Science and Poetry, and The Myths We Live By, this collection is an ideal introduction to Midgley's philosophy for anyone interested in exploring her ideas on the human condition and our place in the world.
