Biography
Bertrand Russell (1872-1970). A celebrated mathematician and logician and gifted philosopher, Russell remains one of the most genuinely widely read and popular philosophers of modern times.
"The best work of one of the most influential minds of our times." - The Sunday Times
"...the questions with which these lectures deal are of fundamental importance, and it is a mark of Russell's greatness that even his mistakes are illuminating. If he does not solve the problems, he enables us to see more clearly where the solutions are to be found." - The Observer
"... essential for the understanding of the development of philosophy in England during this century and of the influence one upon the other of Moore, Russell and Wittgenstein." - The Yorkshire Post
