Best book of the early 20th Century, possibly
During my youth, in the 1950s and 1960s, I scoured used book stores for the book that would "talk to me" without the usual gloss of hypocrisy. I'll always remember the day fondly when I found this one. I've read it three times, and whenever I need a bracing renewal of wholesome opinion I turn to selected entries in this book. It captures something refreshing about the 1920s that has been lost. I should warn you that the two books that claim to be a sequel to this one are pathetic documents of editorial cowardice possibly pandering to a descent in intellectual taste. Don't buy them (I Believe: The Personal Philosophies of Certain Eminent Men and Women of Our Time, edited by Clifton Fadiman, 1939 and Living Philosophies: The Reflections of Some Eminent Men and Women of Our Time, edited by Clifton Fadiman, 1990). When I read The Great Roob Revolution by Roger Price I understood the underlying currents of regressive climate of opinion that accounts for the loss of intellectual honesty. Long live theone and only 1931 version, Living Philosophies: A Series of Intimate Credos.
