Rezensionen
A fascinating read. Sayers has had such a many-sided career, and his finely written (and photographed) account contains many striking philosophical and political insights. The result is a splendid amalgam of the personal and the academic.
David McLellan, Goldsmiths College, University of London
Sayers has succeeded in producing a wonderful memoir which does that rare thing; it successfully blends the individual moment with the larger historical backdrop, the personal and the political, in a delicate and readable narrative which offers an important glimpse into philosophy and history, and the spirit of its times.
Tony McKenna, Marx and Philosophy Review of Books
