In the changed social conditions of today, does this rule work satisfactorily, both while the family remains united and when it breaks up? Sir Leslie Scarman discusses some possible changes.

2: The' Inner Life of Ideas
† by PETER BURKE
Lecturer in History and Director of Studies in the History of Ideas at the University of Sussex
The first talk of this pair examined ways in which the life history of ideas could be looked at. This second one considers some of the ways in which that life history can be explained. And it examines in particular an important question: If we explain ideas historically, aren'we explaining them away? Aren'ideas either explicable only in philosophical terms-or valueless?

The device of a story within a story is found in the so-called ' Milesian Tales' popular in the ancient Graeco-Roman world, out of which grew the first European novels. One of these was The Golden Ass of Lucius Apuleius.
Cupid and Psyche is a self-contained story told by a drunken hag in the robbers' cave where the hero of The Golden Ass was held prisoner.
