Ben B. Seligman
This is an extraordinary distillation of major
ideas in We—stern thought over the last hun-
dred years extraordinary because it is so
interesting to read and easy to understand.
The essays, drawn from The New York Times
Magazine, offer incisive portraits of these
great thinkers: Giambattista Vico, Charles
Darwin, Friedrich Nietzsche, Sigmund Freud,
Karl Marx, Bertrand Russell, John Dewey,
Martin Buber, Jean-Paul Sartre, B. F. Skin-
ner, Jean Piaget, Erik Erikson, Bruno Bettel-
heim, Claude Levi-Strauss, Margaret Mead,
John Maynard Keynes, Milton Friedman,
John Kenneth Galbraith, Andre Malraux, Mar-
shall—McLuhan, and seven heroes of the New
Left Herbert Marcuse,Albert Camus, Noam
Chomsky, Paul Goodman, Che Guevara,
Regis Debray, and Frantz Fanon.
The contributors are themselves distin-
guished interpreters of the Western intellec-
tual tradition, including Isaiah Bexlicu-Sidney -
Hook, John Kenneth Galbraith/Theodore H. \
White, and Lionel Abel. In his introduction
to the book, Mr. Seligman traces the develop-
ment of new ideas in philosophy, politics,
psychology, economics, and anthropology,
comments on the recent innovations of New
Left politics and culture, and suggests the
most influential currents in the years im-
mediately ahead.
