Essays on Values in History and in Art
In this volume of essays E H Gombrich deals with values and their place in the humanities. Ranging in subject from the Philosophy of Hegel to wartime propaganda broadcasts, the future of museums and the role of reason and feeling in the study of art, Professor Gombrich consistently upholds the ideals of our culture that are under constant threat from the idols of irrationality and intolerance. This powerful collection of essays is a timely and important affirmation of liberal and humane values.
Includes black-and-white illustrations.
