Recenzii

‘An intellectual treat...the delight of this book lies in that combination of wit with perception, and of width of view with ease of expression for which Russell made himself known.’ - Financial Times
‘Russell is as incapable of being dull as he is of being shallow’ – The Observer
‘His writings reflect his crystalline, scintillating mind and rank him among the few masters of English style’ – Sunday Times

Descriere

These essays aim to combat, in one way or another, the dogmatism which dominated the first decades of the twentieth century and provide invaluable insight into the political and philosophical milieu in which Russell was writing.
