This book sets out to prove that Wallas was more appalled and frightened by the anti-intellectualism of the twentieth-century than by the naive over-intellectualism of the nineteenth. Attacking unreal assumptions about the role of reason, he sought not to deny men the capacity to think, but to show them how to do so more clearly in order to improve the human condition.
