"Written by a distinguished teacher and critic, and containing telling strictures against the stupidities of a widely prevalent deterministic orthodoxy in modern culture, this volume would be memorable in any event. It is more note-worthy because its author wrote another widely read and discussed book a quarter century ago entitled The Modern Temper. In it he was as appreciative of the then current skepticism as he is now critical of the contemporary orthodoxies." -Reinhold Niebuhr, New York Times
