The author suggests that Bertrand Russell was "perhaps our last public sage", a man of extraordinary passion and strength, but full of contradictions. He preached reason and selflessness and believed in free love, yet those closest to him often felt hurt and disillusioned. Far earlier than most, he realized that Bolshevism would lead to dictatorship, but it was America rather than Russia that he saw as a threat to world peace. Possibly the most brilliant undergraduate of his generation, Russell was always logical, but oddly inconsistent, never quite at one with the world around him. Caroline Moorehead's books include biographies of Freya Stark and Sidney Bernstein.

broschiert, Condición: Gut. Auflage: New edition. 596 Seiten, wit photos, Guter Zustand. Brownished paper. - Bertrand Russell lived almost a century, from 1872 to 1970. He dined with Gladstone and corresponded with Khrushchev; he had John Stuart Mill as godfatner, and was teacher to Ludwig Wittgenstein. Philosopher, mathematician, logician and campaigner who was prepared to go to prison for his beliefs on more than one occasion, he was, Caroline Moorehead suggests, 'perhaps our last public sage'. He was a man of extraordinary passion and strength, but full of contradictions. He preached reason and selflessness and believed in free love, yet those closest to him often felt hurt and disillusioned. Par earlier than most, he realised that Bolshevism would lead to dictatorship, but it was America rather than Rus'sia that he saw as the threat to world peace. Perhaps the most brilliant undergraduate of his generation, Russell was always logical, but oddly inconsistent, and never quite at one with the world around him.
