What can we truly know? Can logic reveal the hidden structure of reality? And how much individual freedom can survive the demands of political power? Few modern thinkers have confronted these questions with the range, precision, and intellectual courage of Bertrand Russell. Philosopher, mathematician, Nobel laureate, social critic, and peace activist, Russell transformed modern logic while writing with equal force on religion, knowledge, happiness, education, war, democracy, and human freedom.
