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."

Reviews

[Mick Maurer]

My focus was on the 25 letters, footnotes, & notes that Russell mentions Ludwig Wittgenstein at Cambridge, and the 2 he mentions T S Eliot at Harvard. He was much more positive of the undergrad Wittgenstein thane he was of Eliot.

I've been reading these for over a year and have been led into a treasure trove. Several blogs are needed to explore just some of the treasure.
