Six talks by E. H. CARR
Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge 6: The Widening Horizon
These talks are a broadcast version of Professor Carr's Trevelyan Lectures given earlier this year. In the last talk Professor Carr discusses the cult of the irrational in the English-speaking world today which takes the form mainly of a depreciation of the achievements and potentialities of reason. He believes that this is part of the current wave of pessimism and ultra-conservatism.
