'This
fascinating and revealing book by Rodgers and Thompson (who are to be
congratulated for taking an irreverent slant on a holy subject) tells us in no
uncertain terms, that while philosophy can enlighten it can also mislead and
delude...'
'... should be on every university
reading list...'
Richard Edmonds,
Birmingham Post
'Any student or beginner reading this book will
want to know more about these extraordinary men. That is an achievement in
itself.'
Peter Watson, The Times Higher Education Supplement
