9 December 2012Reflection is often better than action
There is a throwaway preface by Anthony Gottlieb to the Routledge edition of this work that reads like a clever undergraduate pointing out where Russell makes unqualified statements .
1 May 2012Completely bonkers...and this review is from a former fan
In this book, Bertrand Russell shows himself to be the embodiment of a stereotype: a man so reasoned and logical that he is credited with advancing the developing of formal logic itself who at the same time had no connection or understanding of human nature and the world that he lives in.

Russell on his hobbyhorse.
10 October 2009Progress is the work of a small group of individuals
Besides his praise of idleness, Bertrand Russell demolishes in these lectures the philosophy of Johann Gottlieb Fichte and gives formidable comments on fascism and communism , religion, politics and civilization.
