Author

Bertrand Russell (1872–1970) was an English philosopher, logician, and public intellectual who made hard ideas readable. The Problems of Philosophy, Mysticism and Logic, and The Analysis of Mind show his gift for clarity; his activism against war and for free thought made him a moral presence as well as a technical one. With 14 titles in our catalogue, Russell remains a guide for readers who want philosophy without fog.
