I CAME to England from the West Indies to go to university in 1946, just after the second world war. I chose Bristol, and decided to do philosophy, botany and chemistry. I was very interested in philosophical questions; I wasn’t particularly interested in botany but I had been impressed by my botany teacher in Trinidad. I can’t imagine why I chose chemistry. I wish I had chosen history: I don’t think politics was on the curriculum in 1946. By November 1947, I was studying Marxism and complaining that Marx, Engels and Lenin wrote very badly although Stalin wrote well. Of course, it was their translators who deserved the credit or blame. Fortunately, Professor C E M Joad, in his books, explained the philosophy of dialectical materialism very clearly.
