Brief about the book: There is no Nobel Prize for Philosophy, but the Nobel Prize for Literature was awarded this year to Bertrand Russell, and the acceptance conditions clarify that the Nobel Prize was awarded to Bertrand Russell as a great thinker in the humanities more than to Bertrand Russell himself, who has now passed a generation. He has performed an important service in teaching the historical importance of mathematical logic, and the Nobel Committee awarded this prize specifically, knowing deliberately that it is giving a prize in literature.
And it is appropriate and fitting to recognize Lord Russell in this gentle manner for two reasons: firstly, he represents the last long tradition in British philosophy that John Stuart Mill, David Hume, Bishop Berkeley, Thomas Huxley, and Francis Bacon passed through… And there is another meaning worth mentioning, under which Bertrand Russell deserves a Nobel in literature, as it has become clear to some members of the committee, at least without doubt, that according to that great tradition, philosophy was part and stage of literature, and philosophy like literature is a form of discourse, a discourse concerned with the beginnings and ends, or with precise analysis of our basic hypotheses related to knowledge, the aims of knowledge, the nature of reason, and the nature of nature itself.
Bertrand Russell was more logical than mystical and more analytical than poetic, but those who remember his eloquent research, which has lasted a whole generation—"The Worship of the Free Man"—and those who read his book "A History of Arab Philosophy" published three years ago, know with what emotional imagination he deals with the opinions of other philosophers and with what brilliance in clarity and vitality he adorns the philosophical topics he addresses.
