Description
Superb insight into the development of Russell's thinking by the master himself
Clearly and engaging written, charting his intellectual development from young idealist to celebrated sceptic
This Routledge Classics edition includes a new foreword by Nicholas Griffin
Ideal companion to Russell's own Autobiography, which is concerned with his incredibly colourful life rather than philosophy
