The Basic Writings of Bertrand Russell (new edition)
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.
In this little book, I have tried to say what I think of man’s place in the universe, and of his possibilities in the way of achieving the good life... Except in astronomy, mankind have not achieved the art of predicting the future; in human affairs, we can see that there are forces making for happiness, and forces making for misery. We do not know which will prevail, but to act wisely we must be aware of both.
When John Russell's by-line first appeared in 1941, he was twenty-two years old and setting forth on a journey that has never ended. His travels have taken him into the worlds of literature, art, theater, dance, and music, about which he has recorded his observations and opinions with astuteness, dexterity, and a spirit all his own. His extraordinary range of interests, his knowledge, and his inimitable style make him today one of our masters of the essay form. Reading Russell is a selection of fifty-three essays, culled from hundreds of articles and reviews.
Philosophy of language explores some of the fundamental yet most technical problems in philosophy, such as meaning and reference, semantics, and propositional attitudes. Some of its greatest exponents, including Gottlob Frege, Ludwig Wittgenstein and Bertrand Russell are amongst the major figures in the history of philosophy.
