Unpopular Essays by Bertrand Russell

These essays aim to combat, in one way or another, the dogmatism which dominated the first decades of the twentieth century and provide invaluable insight into the political and philosophical milieu in which Russell was writing.

‘An intellectual treat..the delight of this book lies in that combination of wit with perception, and of width of view with ease of expression for which Russell made himself known.’ - Financial Times

‘Russell is as incapable of being dull as he is of being shallow’ – The Observer

‘His writings reflect his crystalline, scintillating mind and rank him among the few masters of English style’ – Sunday Times

Bertrand Russell (1872–1970) was one of the most formidable thinkers of the modern era. A philosopher, mathematician, educational innovator, champion of intellectual, social and sexual freedom, and a campaigner for peace and human rights, he was also a prolific writer of popular and influential books, essays and lectures on an extensive range of subjects. Considered to be one of the most controversial figures of the twentieth century, Bertrand Russell is widely renowned for his provocative writings. These definitive works offer profound insights and forward-thinking perspectives on a changing western society progressively shaped, most significantly, by two world wars, the decline of British imperialism and an evolving moral landscape.
