Russell on...
About the Book Series
Bertrand Russell wrote prolifically on a variety of topics from central technical questions in philosophical logic, epistemology and metaphysics to moral, religious and political issues. His influence on both the style and matter of twentieth century philosophy is pervasive.
Large parts of Russell's philosophical work have remained relatively inaccessible to students, being available only in his Collected Papers. Volumes in the Russell On... series assemble key writings on major philosophical topics from both the published books and in particular the Collected Papers. They provide students and scholars with a comprehensive resource on Russell's thought.
