The essays in this little volume, published here for the first time in book form, were written by Bertrand Russell during the Second World War when he was less concerned with the stormy issues of nuclear warfare and the containment of communist aggression. In those years the author was teaching philosophy at American universities and exercising a growing influence on America’s student population. The essays assembled here are fundamentally concerned with “the art of reckoning” in the fields of mathematics, logic and philosophy. The simplicity of Russell’s exposition is astonishing, as is his ability to get to the core of the great philosophical issues and to skillfully probe the depth of philosophical analysis. Bertrand Arthur William Russell, 3rd Earl Russell was a British philosopher, logician, mathematician, historian, social reformer, and pacifist. Although he spent the majority of his life in England, he was born in Wales, where he also died. Russell led the British "revolt against Idealism" in the early 1900s and is considered one of the founders of analytic philosophy along with his protégé Wittgenstein and his elder Frege. He co-authored, with A. N. Whitehead, Principia Mathematica, an attempt to ground mathematics on logic. His philosophical essay "On Denoting" has been considered a "paradigm of philosophy." Both works have had a considerable influence on logic, mathematics, set theory, linguistics and analytic philosophy. He was a prominent anti-war activist, championing free trade between nations and anti-imperialism. Russell was imprisoned for his pacifist activism during World War I, campaigned against Adolf Hitler, for nuclear disarmament, criticized Soviet totalitarianism and the United States of America's involvement in the Vietnam War. In 1950, Russell 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."

"Roads to Freedom" is a fascinating glimpse of progressive intellectual politics at the turn of the twentieth century. Written at the end of the first world war in the midst of great and rapid world change, the book is an historical analysis and criticism of Socialism, Anarchism and Syndicalism by the British philosopher Bertrand Russell, the author of "Why Men Fight". This deluxe edition of "Roads to Freedom" has an additional essay by Bertrand Russell titled "Democracy and Direct Action" and a never-before-included foreword by the Pulitzer Prize-winning philosopher and historian Will Durant. "A remarkable book by a remarkable man." The London Times "Really worth reading," The New York Evening Post. "We strongly advise a careful reading of 'Roads to Freedom' as good medicine for these times. Those who have the courage to look facts in the face will get from it both warning and information. Others if they can be induced to read, may be shocked by it out of a dangerous complacency." The Westminster Gazette BERTRAND RUSSELL (1872-1970) won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1950. A celebrated British philosopher and mathematician, his works include "Why I Am Not a Christian" (1927), "Power: A New Social Analysis" (1938), and "My Philosophical Development" (1959).

The Principles of Mathematics Volume 1 is a comprehensive and influential work on the foundations of mathematics written by the renowned philosopher and logician, Bertrand Russell. Published in 1903, it is considered a landmark in the history of mathematics and philosophy, and a key text in the development of modern logic.The book is divided into two parts: the first part deals with the principles of arithmetic and the second part with the principles of geometry. Russell's approach is based on the idea that mathematics is a branch of logic and that the principles of mathematics can be derived from logical principles.In the first part, Russell develops a theory of numbers and arithmetic based on the logical principles of identity, negation, and the quantifiers ""all"" and ""some"". He also introduces the concept of classes and relations, which are crucial for his later work on set theory.In the second part, Russell applies his logical approach to geometry, developing a theory of space based on the concepts of point, line, and plane. He also introduces the concept of a ""logical space"", which is a space that can be defined purely in terms of logical principles.Throughout the book, Russell emphasizes the importance of rigor and clarity in mathematical reasoning, and he argues that many of the problems in the foundations of mathematics can be solved by adopting a more rigorous and logical approach.Overall, The Principles of Mathematics Volume 1 is a seminal work in the history of mathematics and philosophy, and a must-read for anyone interested in the foundations of mathematics and logic.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
