Bertrand Russell

Bertrand Russell is considered one of the most famous and important philosophers of the twentieth century. He is among the few philosophers whose names became known to the general public, and who became during their lives and works embodiments of the great intellectual heritage they represent. The reputation Russell enjoyed among his contemporaries was based on his multiple contributions — often controversial — to social, moral, political, and educational discussions. In this book, which presents his life and works, A. C. Grayling informs us of Russell's contributions in the fields of philosophy and logic, in addition to his broad opinions on education, politics, war, and sexual ethics.
