Description
This rich collection provides unparalleled insight into the life and influence of Bertrand Russell, bringing together rare memoirs, reflections and letters from friends, colleagues and contemporaries between 1872 and 1970.
A founder of modern analytic philosophy, a Nobel Laureate, a political activist and a social critic, Bertrand Russell wrote with style and wit on ethics, politics, educational theory, the history of ideas and religion.
With writings from more than 80 figures, this book features personal recollections of philosophers, students, friends and acquaintances including E. Moore, T. S. Eliot, Lytton Strachey, J.M. Keynes, George Santayana, Virginia Woolf and many others. They capture the power of Russell's ideas and the reach of his thought.
Stretching from Russell's childhood through to Cambridge and covering the First and Second World War as well as his time and impact in the US, China, Russia and Japan, this is an indispensable resource to the life and work of Bertrand Russell, one of the most fascinating, influential and widely known figures of the 20th century.
