Bertrand Russell, Public Intellectual

The consistently first-rate papers in the collection Bertrand Russell, The Public Intellectual serve as a powerful reminder of the breadth and depth of the contributions from one of the leading philosophers of the twentieth century. Those of us familiar with Russell's writings have always been impressed by the range of topics that concerned Bertie. His commitment to the examined life, with all its foibles, shines brightly in this set of essays. This text is an invaluable resource for students of Russell's life and thought. Alan Schwerin
