Selected Essays and Other Writings of John Donald Wade

Edited by Donald Davidson

Reviews

“The vision of a world rapidly disintegrating because man no longer believes ‘history and ancient fables have anything to do with the present’ is as relevant today as it was thirty years ago. But now that the opportunity has passed, and one can only hope that this well-edited, attractively presented book will assist in giving Wade the public recognition he so amply deserves.”
—Thomas Daniel Young
