review: Editorial Reviews Review "Treats its subject in a way that will arouse the interest of any one who has any latent ability to become interested in it."--The New York Times "Treats its subject in a way that will arouse the interest of any one who has any latent ability to become interested in it."--The New York Times "Treats its subject in a way that will arouse the interest of any one who has any latent ability to become interested in it."--The New York Times From the Back Cover Clear and accessible, this little book is an intelligible and stimulating guide to those problems of philosophy which often mistakenly make the subject seem too lofty and abstruse for the lay mind. About the Author Bertrand Russell was one of the most important philosophers of the twentieth century. His primary interest was in the foundations of mathematics, and his three-volume Principia Mathematica (written with Alfred North Whitehead) is the classic attempt to carry out the programme of deriving the whole of mathematics from a set of simple, self-evident truths. He also wrote widely on other areas of philosophy, and published a large number of writings on social and moral issues. John Skorupski is Professor of Moral Philosophy at the University of St Andrews, and author of English-Language Philosophy 1750-1945 (1993) and John Stuart Mill (1989). Read more
