THE REITH LECTURES 1967

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

A Runaway World? by Edmund Leach
Provost of King's College, Cambridge and University Reader in Social Anthropology
6: ' Only Connect....'
We should not panic because enriched human experience fits less and less tidily into the compartments devised by Greeks, Romans. ancient Hebrews, headmasters, parents, dons, or ecclesiastics. New ways of thinking, which connect rather than separate, can provide a continuous feedback between the contemporary experience of crisis and an optimistic planning of the future. We must grasp at the stupendous idea that human creative potentiality has no limit at all.
Rptd.: Mon.at7.30pm. (Third) This talk will be printed in ' The Listener ' dated December 21
The series will be published in book form by BBC Publications early in 1968
