Against the Idols of the Age Edited With an Introduction by Roger Kimball

"[W]hat makes these essays so compelling--what separates Stove from, for instance, your average angry-eyed reactionary propping up the bar at a military reunion dinner--is the startlingly brilliant way that he argues, combining, as he does, plain horse sense with the most nimble and skillful philosophical reasoning this side of Hume, along with a breathtaking wit. The result is unlike anything ever seen before. Stove has the lightest of touches, and an unerring sense for where to twist the knife, but he takes his subject matter seriously, and he never adopts a position for show, unlike some of his targets."Stove, David is the author of 'Against the Idols of the Age Edited With an Introduction by Roger Kimball' with ISBN 9780765800008 and ISBN 0765800004.
