5.0 out of 5 stars A great book for a young philosopher, December 4, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: The Basic Writings of Bertrand Russell (Paperback)

I picked up this book by pure happenstance from a friends book collection and have found it to be entertaining and enlightening. I have long been trying to figure out my view of the world and my philosophical standpoint in general and this is the first book I have really been able to connect with. Many sections of the book deal with Russell's search for his own understanding of the world and I especially connected with his time at University. I strongly recommend this book to anyone and everyone either looking for understanding of their own life or interested in one of the greatest modern philosophers.

4.0 out of 5 stars Expectantly Profound and Comprehensive, October 27, 2009

By	Xenocrates - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Basic Writings of Bertrand Russell (Routledge Classics) (Paperback)

Bertrand Russell is an exceptionally deep and multifaceted thinker. Having written comprehensively on an rich number of subjects and having added new and profound thoughts to so many well known topics, Russell never disappoints critical thinkers with an open mind.

This work consists of several of Russell's writings on a number of topics. Ranging from thoughts on life, language, mathematics, politics, economics, and world affairs, there is something for every intellectual in this collection. There is no way for a mere reviewer to competently convey the essence of Russell's thoughts. I can only add that if you enjoy philosophy, if you respect the deep thinkers of our times, and if you read with an open mind, you will enjoy The Basic Writings of Bertrand Russell.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good collection, but without "On Denoting"!
The collection is generally good and varied, the print is OK, but they didn't include the famous and VERY basic "On Denoting" in it! I think it's unbearable!
