First published in 1997 this valuable volume is a collection of previously published clear non-technical essays brought together in this volume on a wide range of polemical topics including war and peace love and sex and life and its meanings.

Jenny Teichman’s polemics have been written with wit and gusto and her writing displays a talent for puncturing the pretensions of highly reputable thinkers and landing some well-placed blows. Much amusement can be derived from this book along with much instruction. | Polemical Papers Essays on the Philosophy of Life and Death
