《论历史》收集了他的主要历史论文15篇，以供有兴趣的读者参考。《论历史》另附有罗素1948年在英国BBC广播电台所作的一系列讲演汇编而成的《权威与个人》，共六章，中心论题为考察社会控制与个人创造性这一对基本矛盾。

法兰克福在《论扯淡》里，劈头就是一句结论：在我们的文化里，最突出的特征之一就是：有太多的人在“扯淡”。虽说扯淡无处不在，却没有一种学说，一个理论来剖析他，他的主旨不在于提供一个理论模型来解析扯淡，而是探讨现今社会何以充斥着言不由衷的扯淡。文中，作者以哲学的辨证方式，开宗明义地区别了“扯淡”与“说谎”。扯淡不是说谎，却是真理最大的敌人。因为说谎的人知道何者为真，却讲的是假话。而扯淡的人既不关心何者为真，也不关心何者为假，只在乎自身利益。这种认为无论事实真相如何都没有差别的态度，就是扯淡的本质。法兰克福在书中将矛头直指当今社会，他指出，扯淡之所以充斥我们的社会，与当代民主社会和市场经济里的种种扭曲不无干系，它助长了扯淡的膨胀，特别是在政治、道德和宗教等分配权益的关键领域，在那里既难以有真伪的辨别，而追求真伪辨别又有风险和麻烦。靠扯淡来搪塞、敷衍、扭曲、误导遂成为权宜之计，更有蔚为主流的趋势。

Durkheim's sociological thought is based on the premise that the world cannot be known as a thing in itself, but only through representations, rough approximations of the world created either individually or collectively. This set of papers by leading Durkheimians from Britain, America and continental Europe is a concentrated attempt to understand what he meant by representations, how his understanding of the term was influenced by Kant and by neo-Kantians like Charles Renouvier and how his use of the concept in his work developed over time. By arguing that his use of representations is at the the core of Durkheim's sociological thought, this book makes a contribution to Durkheimian studies which have been dominated by positivist and functionalist interpretations, and reveals a thinker very much in tune with contemporary developments in philosophy, linguistics and sociology.
