Hardback. Zustand: Fair. 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.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. Experiments Against Reality displays the sophistication, breadth of knowledge, and clarity of argument that have made Mr. Kimball one of the most trenchant critics of our contemporary culture. He begins by considering the influential poet and theorist T. E. Hulme, and shows how the work of Eliot, Auden, Wallace Stevens, Robert Musil, Elias Canetti, and others can be seen as efforts to articulate a convincing alternative to the intellectual and spiritual desolations of the age. Turning to the philosophical tradition, Mr. Kimball suggests how figures from Mill and Nietzsche to Bertrand Russell, Wittgenstein, Sartre, Heidegger, Foucault, and Roger Scruton have addressed-or in many cases evaded-the defining moral imperatives of modernity. Finally he steps back to consider more generally the career of contemporary culture-the trivializing nature of the contemporary art world; the academic attack on historical truth and scientific rationality; the fate of the two cultures controversy. Experiments Against Reality offers continuing evidence of Mr. Kimball's stature as one of our most important cultural critics. Named an International Book of the Year by Mary Lefkowitz, Times Literary Supplement. A scathing critic but one whose tirades are usually justified. His intellectual rigor is refreshing. Experiments Against Reality demonstrates what criticism can be if you take away all the theoretical scaffolding inherent in, say, a deconstructionist, structuralist or feminist reading. -Catherine Saint Louis, New York Times Book Reviewfers continuing evidence of Mr. Kimball's stature as one of our most important cultural critics.

Hardback. Zustand: Good. Since Tenured Radicals first appeared in 1990, it has achieved a stature as the leading critique of the ways in which the humanities are now taught and studied at American universities. Trenchant and witty, it lays bare the sham of what now passes for serious academic pursuit in too many circles. In this new edition, completely reset, Roger Kimball has brought the text up to date and has added a new Introduction. Those who have never read Tenured Radicals are in for a treat; others may find a second reading worth their while. Mr. Kimball names his enemies precisely. This book will breed fistfights.--Roger Rosenblatt, New York Times Book Review. All persons serious about education should see it.--Allan Bloom, author of The Closing of the American Mind. Tenured Radicals is a withering critique.--Jonathan Yardley, Washington Post Book World. A bravado performance of critical journalism.a vivid, up-to-the-minute account, alternately amusing and dismaying, of the takeover of the academy by ideology.--Robert Alter, Newsday. A stinging account. The commonsense approach of Tenured Radicals provokes constant reflections and occasional laughter at the squirming victims.--Roger Shattuck, author of The Banquet Years.…
