About the author

Bertrand Arthur William Russell, 3rd Earl Russell, OM, FRS, was a Welsh philosopher, historian, logician, mathematician, advocate for social reform, pacifist, and prominent rationalist. Although he was usually regarded as English, as he spent the majority of his life in England, he was born in Wales, where he also died.

He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1950 "in recognition of his varied and significant writings in which he champions humanitarian ideals and freedom of thought."

Reviews

[Fadoua · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a collection of essays written by a brillant philosopher, Bertrand Russell. This book definitely captures Russell's views on wide area of subjects: education, the state, socialism, China... It was written a century ago but almost could have been written yesterday.
