El credo del hombre libre y otros ensayos

by Bertrand Russell

En este libro puede saborear el lector las paginas de El credo del hombre libre, el legendario manifiesto en que Russell condenso en tonos epicos su vision cientifico-moral del mundo y que tanto emociono, entre otros muchos, al gran novelista Joseph Conrad. La misma tematica aparece desarrollada, con rasgos mas autobiograficos y emotivos, en la unica novela de Russell, Las perplejidades de John Forstice, que por voluntad del autor no pudo ver la luz hasta despues de su muerte y aparece aqui por primera vez en lengua espanola.

Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy

About the author

Bertrand Arthur William Russell, 3rd Earl Russell, OM, FRS, was a Welsh philosopher, historian, logician, mathematician, advocate for social reform, pacifist, and prominent rationalist. Although he was usually regarded as English, as he spent the majority of his life in England, he was born in Wales, where he also died.

He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1950 "in recognition of his varied and significant writings in which he champions humanitarian ideals and freedom of thought."

Carte este o selecție a unor texte reprezentative a le lui Russell, din diverse domenii. Deși din punct de vedere al calității este excelentă, nu m-au prins toate textele. Unele domenii îmi erau străine sau nu mă pasionau prea mult, în schimb unele texte m-au captivat. Titlul cărții este mai mult un "clickbait", fiind numele unui eseu de tinerețe a lui Russell.
