R.
JQNES
Both critique and biography, here is a unique contribution to
philosophy as well as "Belles Lettres." Mr. Jones's lucid account of
Hulme's aes'thetics, politics, philosophy, of his central concept of
Original Sin and of his fabled life sheds new light on an original
and deeply influential figure.

WORDS AND THINGS
By
ERNEST GELLNER
With an Introduction
by
Bertrand Russell
All philosophy should begin with the analysis of words--contends
the Oxford School of Linguistic Philosophy, now much
in
vogue.
Gellner, with staunch support from his colleague Bertrand Russell,
maintains that linguistic philosophers meddle in trivia . . . ignore
fundamental concepts of the world ... ideas, science and human
problems.

EXPLORAliONS IN COMMUNICATION
Edited,
by
Edmund Carpenter and Marshall McLuhan
Essays by David Riesman, Gilbert Seldes, Fernand Leger and others
examine the ways in which the languages of communication-news–
papers, radio, television-have modified human relations and hu–
man sensibilities. One media is examined through another. Print
is seen from the perspective of television; television is analysed
through. print-thus literacy's role ·in shaping man is brought into
sharp new focus.
