Mehr zum Buch

Dedicated to the life of reason, Bertrand Russell addresses fundamental questions about humanity's place in the universe and the nature of a good life, touching on themes like life after death, morality, freedom, education, and sexual ethics. His essays reflect the courage, logic, and wisdom for which he is renowned as a philosopher, writer, and teacher, offering one of the most graceful presentations of freethought since Hume and Voltaire. In his Preface, Russell states, "I am as firmly convinced that religions do harm as I am that they are untrue," highlighting his opposition to any dogma that may restrict human thought. This collection spans from 1899 to 1954, showcasing his enduring commitment to reasoned discourse. Edited with the full cooperation of Russell by Professor Paul Edwards from New York University, the book includes an Appendix detailing the controversial "Bertrand Russell Case" of 1940, where he was deemed "unfit" to teach philosophy. Regardless of whether readers agree with Russell's views, they will find this work a stimulating challenge to conventional beliefs, a masterful articulation of philosophical thought, and an enjoyable read.
