New Hardcover . 'I am in no degree ashamed of having changed my opinions. What physicist who was active in 1900 would dream of boasting that his options had not changed?' Bertrand Russell Few philosophers have had a more profound influence on the course of modern Philosophy than Bertrand Russell. The Basic Writings of Bertrand Russell is a comprehensive Anthology of Russell's most definitive Essays written between 1903 and 1959. First published in 1961, this remarkable collection is a testament to a philosopher whom many consider to be one of the most influential thinkers of the twentieth century. This is an essential introduction to the brilliance of Bertrand Russell. 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.

Bertrand Russell ranks as one of the giants of twentieth-century philosophy. Through his books, journalism, correspondence and political activity he exerted a profound influence on modern thought. This companion centers on Russell's contributions to modern philosophy and, therefore, concentrates on the early part of his career. There are chapters on Russell's contributions to the foundations of mathematics, and on his development of new logical methods in philosophy and their application to such fields as epistemology, metaphysics and the philosophy of language. The intellectual background to his work is covered, as is his engagement with such contemporaries as Frege and G. E. Moore. The final chapter considers Russell as a moral philosopher. New readers will find this the most convenient and accessible guide to Russell available.

No author stated. Bertrand Russell 1872 - 1970. Philosopher Mathematician Humanist Rebel Educationalist Man of Letters Pacifist . A Highly Important Collection Consisting of 844 Items with a Special Foreword by Professor John Slater [ Bookseller's catalogue ] N. p., n. d.
"This collection is probably the largest collection of Bertrand Russell material ever to be offered for sale. The collection has very strong holdings in all areas: from Russell's early philosophical writings, his writings on political and social philosophy to his important writings on pacifism and nuclear disarmament. It contains all of Bertrand Russell's books in first editions. This includes such rarities as his first published work German Social democracy and his most famous work, the three volume set of Principia Mathematica. There are many other extremely scarce items listed amongst the books and pamphlets as well as the contributions and articles. A substantial number of the items are not recorded in the standard bibliography by Martin. Subsequent editions of his books, as well as foreign language editions have also been included. Pamphlets by Russell, many of which have become very scarce indeed, have been allocated a separate section. The same applies for articles written by Russell, as well as contributions and prefaces which he wrote for books. Further sections in this catalogue list critical works on Russell and items of Memorabilia. We are also very pleased indeed to be able to include books from the library of Bertrand Russell and several letters. We have referred to Martin's bibliography for the Russell books, pamphlets and articles, and we have also included reference numbers from Professor Sister's important Catalogue of Monographs by Bertrand Russell for the Russell books and pamphlets in this collection. The catalogue is divided into seven sections. The items in each section are arranged in chronological order, except in the Critical Works Section, where the items are arranged alphabetically by author. All items have been carefully catalogued.." - from the introduction. Contents: Introduction; Foreword by Professor John Slater; Books by Russell 1-312; Pmphlets by Russell 313-368; Articles by Russell 369-553; Cotributions by Russell 554-663; Critical Works on Russell 664-799; Letters and Books from the Library 800-819 Russell Memorabilia and Related Material 820-844; Index of Books; Illustrations.
