Bertrand Russell

The Philosophy of Bertrand Russell

(Volume V, 1944)

This volume is one of the most significant documents on the thought of this giant of twentieth-century philosophy. Twenty-one eminent contemporaries discuss the most pertinent aspects of Russell's thought and writings. These philosophers and scholars provide incisive commentaries and analyses which serve to clarify and illuminate the various aspects of his many faceted genius. Best of all, Russell had the opportunity, after reading the comments and criticisms of the contributors, to reply directly to them and answer the questions raised in regard to his philosophical viewpoint.
