Reviews of Not Saussure and The Explicit Animal: Not Saussure - 'I
greatly enjoyed it...' - Bernard Bergonzi 'The Explicit Animal -
'...his books are genuine contributions to professional debate...'
- Stephen R.L. Clarke, Times Literary Supplement;Newton's Sleep
examines the complementary roles of science and art in human life.
Science has been criticised for being at best useful but
spiritually derelict, and art for attempting to answer the
spiritual needs of humankind while ignoring the material needs of
millions who live in want. Newton's Sleep deals with the charges
that science is spiritually empty and that art fails in its
civilising mission by relating these aspects of human culture to
the physical and metaphysical hungers of an explicit animal who
lives in both the Kingdom of Means and the Kingdom of Ends. 'Tallis
can, and frequently does, write extremely well. He also writes with
considerable passion...Tallis...is perhaps best seen as an
exceptionally interesting and broad-minded heir to Huxley,
preaching the cause of the Church Scientific...' Richard Webster
