1959 interview with the legendary aristocratic philosopher, mathematician and pacifist. Here, in his late eighties, he is still in possession of a remarkably keen mind and a mischievous sense of humour. Blessed not only with a genius mind he is wonderful to listen to because of his great voice and even better turn of phrase – when describing the reasons for his own pacifism he stated that while “homicidal lunatics were well employed in killing each other, sensible men would keep out of their way while they were doing it.”
Here is the 30 minute intervew with him on BBC’s Face to Face programme.
