The Outlook For Intelligence

Paul Valéry's prescient essay on the nature of intelligence and its role in society remains a classic of modern thought. His reflections on the relationship between intelligence, knowledge, and power are as relevant today as when they were first published, and his insights into the challenges facing contemporary society are both insightful and thought-provoking.
