A new collection from one of the greatest intellects of our generation. Including a highly topical and fiercely argued defence of the NHS. 'Raymond Tallis is one of the very few contemporary thinkers whom I would unequivocally call a genius' - Stuart Kelly, Scotland on Sunday.
In his latest collection of essays, author, physician and humanist philosopher Raymond Tallis meditates on the complexity of human consciousness, free will, mathematics, God and eternity. The philosophical reflections are interrupted by the fiercely polemical essay 'Lord Howe's Wicked Dream', in which Tallis exposes the 'institutionally corrupt' deception intended to destroy the NHS, and the values that have created and sustained it.

A Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences and of the Royal College of Physicians, he has honorary degrees of Doctor of Science for his contributions to medical research and of Doctor of Letters for his contributions to the humanities.
