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."

Dieser Band beleuchtet die Spannung zwischen Bertrand Russells zurückgezogenem Leben als Logiker und seinem wachsenden Engagement als öffentlicher Intellektueller. Die versammelten Essays zu Ethik, Religion und Politik entstanden in den Jahren vor dem Ersten Weltkrieg und zeigen, wie Russell begann, seine philosophische Strenge auf gesellschaftliche Fragestellungen zu übertragen.
Die Texte dokumentieren eindrücklich den Übergang vom abstrakten Denker zum einflussreichen Sozialkritiker und ermöglichen einen einzigartigen Einblick in die frühe Phase von Russells öffentlichem Wirken.
