Great Communicator Bertrand Russell,
By meow tomcat (British Columbia, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wisdom of the West (Hardcover)
Bertrand Russell (1872- 1970) was a great philosopher and communicator as well as having the common touch in joining protest movements. Although he is remembered for Principia, the most important treatise on logic in the 20th Century, he also wrote and lectured on politics, religion, philosophy and the pursuit of happiness. Wisdom of the West is a handsome 320 page book with plenty of photographs and illustrations that blend into the text. An outstanding feature are diagrams used to convey the essential ideas. This survey of Western philosophy starts from pre-Socratic to early Christianity, Jewish philosophy to Dante, Bacon to Kant, Hegel to Marx and Sartre to Jaspers and ending in Wittgenstein. There is a personal quality in the writing with the author giving his opinions. If you only want one book in your library on the big name philosophers this is the one. |
