Nicholas Griffin (philosopher)
Nicholas Griffin is a Canadian-based philosopher. He is Director of the Bertrand Russell Centre at McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, where he holds a Canada Research Chair in Philosophy. Griffin's main area of research is Bertrand Russell. In reviewing Griffin's book "Russell's Idealist Apprenticeship", Ray Monk comments that Griffin's account of Russell's early philosophical development 'is more detailed, more coherent, more plausible and ultimately more interesting' than some previous accounts, and that the book is 'one of the finest works of philosophical scholarship I have ever read'.
