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.

"Mr. Russell’s latest volume, though not containing any hitherto unedited matter, is one of the most important that he has published...the last six of the ten essays provide the best possible introduction to Mr. Russell’s philosophy." - T. S. Eliot

"The present volume is perhaps the most graceful and polished unbending ever achieved by a follower of abstruse studies." - New Statesman
