First Published in 1961 A Philosopher's Pilgrimage is a
plain-spoken autobiography of Alban G. Widgery. This is the record
of the life of a philosopher who never allowed concern with ideas
to distract him from the richness of experiences. He was a student,
colleague and friend of some of the leading personalities of the
last half century. Having lived in England, Scotland, Germany,
France, India, Hawaii, and the United States, he formed definite
impressions of their peoples. In India, on the personal staff of
H.H. Sayaji Rao III, he greatly influenced him in his pioneer
achievements. Associated with Hindus, Buddhists, Parsis, Muslims,
and Jews, he came to appreciate essentials of their faiths. He
critically considered the teachings of such thinkers as Nietzsche,
Tolstoy, and Shaw. With a clarity of exposition and with humour he
presents a philosophy of life worthy of serious consideration. This
book will be of interest to students of philosophy.
