In addition, he engaged in a lifelong battle with the forces of injustice emphasizing the importance of practice as well as theory. His most effective weapon in this struggle was letters to newspapers and magazines, most of which are collected in this volume. Russell exposes the irrationality of leaders and defends the public against the evils of the time, from British conscription in World War I and fascism in the 1930s to McCarthyism in the 1950s and the Vietnam War in the 1960s. These 400 witty, acerbic letters show him brilliantly sparring with both ordinary citizens and the most powerful leaders of the day, touching on everything from war and peace to sexual ethics and religion.

Originalbroschur. Zustand: Gut. 433 S. Einband leicht berieben. - Bertrand Russell was one of the twentieth century's greatest philosophers. His astonishingly productive life spanned nearly a hundred years (1872-1970) and his contributions to global thought-in philosophy, science, mathematics, politics, education, and literature-are prodigious. Yet Russell was more than a great intellect; he was also a political animal. From the beginning of his long professional life he emphasized the importance of practice as well as theory. He was twice imprisoned by the British government for his political utterances. With his razorsharp irony and morally impassioned rhetoric, Russell took on the forces of injustice, ignorance, and cruelty; one of his chief weapons was the letter to the editor. Russell wrote approximately 400 letters to the editor, of which three- quarters are reproduced in this volume. He often repeated arguments in several letters; the ones collected here include virtually every substantive argument he ever made in a letter to the editor. The letters give us a clear vision of Russell as public gadfly, exposing the unreason of our rulers, and defending human happiness against the evils of the day, including British conscription in World War I, Fascism in the 1930s, McCarthyism in the 1950s, and the peril of nuclear annihilation throughout the Cold War. These wise, witty, and indignant documents, mainly dealing with war and human rights, but also tackling issues in education, sexual ethics, religion, and philosophy, give us an accurate picture of a fascinating public intellectual whose views are often misrepresented, as well as an unusually informative angle of vision on the social and political history of the twentieth century. Together with Professor Perkins's illuminating introduction and notes, these letters form an alternative biography of Russell as a political activist, sometimes correcting factual errors in other biographical accounts.
