Overview

"This collection of essays seeks, in various ways, to explore Bertrand Russell's contribution to shaping the concerns and the methods of contemporary analytical philosophers. It includes both general discussions of the nature of analytical philosophy and detailed analyses of Russell's own arguments, and covers the whole range of his varied output, from his ""Essay on the Foundations of Geometry"" to his work on ethics."
