Description
Recognized as one of the founders of Analytic Philosophy, Nobelist Bertrand Russell made significant contributions to areas as far-ranging as education, politics, history, religion, and science. In this valuable A to Z lexicon of his writings, he explains his fundamental principles, from objectivity to ontological argument to logical certainty. Readers will also hear his comments on such non-mathematical subjects as war, evil, and the purpose and goal of humankind-observations as relevant today as they were when he first espoused them.
The Philosophical Library presents the most important thinkers through the ages and their most influential writings.
REVIEW
It is not by prayer and humility that you cause things to go as you wish, but by acquiring a knowledge of natural laws.
-Bertrand Russell
