{"product_id":"lives-of-the-mind-roger-kimball-9781566635240","title":"Lives of the Mind: The Use and Abuse of Intelligence from Hegel to Wodehouse","description":"Mr. Kimball, one of the best of our cultural critics, offers a lively and penetrating study of genius-and pseudo-genius-at work, and investigates the use and abuse of intelligence. Drawing on figures as various as Plutarch and Hegel, Kierkegaard and P.G. Wodehouse, Elias Canetti and Anthony Trollope, he provides a sharply observed tour of Western intellectual and artistic aspiration. A master of the genre, as collections of his pieces attest, none more impressively than this set. -Booklist Starred Review\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Roger Kimball\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1566635241\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781566635240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ivan R.
