From the Back Cover
`I am in no degree ashamed of having changed my opinions. What physicist who was active in 1900 would dream of boasting that his opinions have not changed?'
Bertrand Russell
This comprehensive anthology of Russell's writings brings together his definitive essays from the period 1903 to 1959. It covers the most fertile and lasting work on every significant area he published in. Whether from his seminal work in the philosophies of mathematics and language, or in his provocative views on religion and international relations, his wit and seemingly effortless lucidity remain constant throughout the development of his thinking.
With over eighty essays divided eighty essays divided into seventeen sections, there could be no better introduction to the enormous scope of Russell's thinking or to the depth and brilliance of his genius.
About the Author
Bertrand Russell (1872–1970) was one of the most formidable thinkers of the modern era. A philosopher, mathematician, educational innovator, champion of intellectual, social and sexual freedom, and a campaigner for peace and human rights, he was also a prolific writer of popular and influential books, essays and lectures on an extensive range of subjects.
Considered to be one of the most controversial figures of the twentieth century, Bertrand Russell is widely renowned for his provocative writings. These definitive works offer profound insights and forward-thinking perspectives on a changing western society progressively shaped, most significantly, by two world wars, the decline of British imperialism and an evolving moral landscape.
