A.C. Grayling’s writing is grounded in the idea that philosophy should engage with the world and make itself useful. His latest title The Age of Genius: The Seventeeth Century and the Birth of the Modern Mind investigates the exact moment that history changed course so profoundly and began to shape everything that followed. With a deft touch and charming good humour, Grayling offers an insightful examination in the history and philosophy of humanity.
