Books with author Bertrand RUSSELL

Bertrand Arthur William Russell, 3rd Earl Russell, OM, FR (18 May 1872 – 2 February 1970), was a British philosopher, logician, mathematician, historian, religious septic, social reformer, socialist and pacifist. Although he spent the majority of his life in England, he was born in Wales, where he also died. Russell led the British "revolt against idealism" in the early 1900s and is considered one of the founders of analytic philosophy along with his protégé Wittgenstein and his elder Frege

In this book Russell weighs the respective advantages and disadvantages of socialism, marxism, anarchism, and democracy. Roads to Freedom is a fascinating glimpse of progressive intellectual politics. Written at the end of the first world war in the midst of great and rapid world change, the book is an historical analysis and criticism of the dominating political systems.
