The British philosopher, logician and social reformer Bertrand Russell was a founding figure of the analytic movement in Western philosophy. His contributions to logic, epistemology and the philosophy of mathematics established him as one of the twentieth century’s foremost philosophers. Russell was also a fierce campaigner for peace and championed anti-imperialism and chaired the India League. In 1950 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature “in recognition of his varied and significant writings in which he champions humanitarian ideals and freedom of thought”. This eBook presents Russell’s collected (close to complete) works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)
