It helps us to insight our rational thoughts with various illustrations. This section includes some essays relating to politics, psychology, science, philosophy, and art and letters.Each essay is chosen for its importance of content, its range of thought, and its capacity to sustain discussion and stimulate writing. These writings have influenced and directed human thinking over different periods in history extending over almost three thousand years. The essays are longer than in most anthologies simply because developing a complex idea generally requires more than a few pages. The essays provide a background to the history of western ideas.
