About this product
Product Information
Academic philosopher, logician, public intellectual, educator, political activist, and freethinker, Bertrand Russell was and remains a colossus. No other single philosopher in the last 200 years can be said to have created so much and influenced so many. His Principia Mathematica, written with A. N. Whitehead, ranks as one of the greatest books on logic since Aristotle. His philosophical work on language, meaning, logic, mind, and metaphysics formed the basis of 20th-century philosophy. Russell was active in numerous political movements of liberation and peace, and his popular writings, including the best-selling History of Western Philosophy , won the Nobel prize in literature in 1950. Historical Dictionary of Bertrand Russell's Philosophy offers a comprehensive, current guide to the many facets of Russell's work. Through its chronology, introductory essay, bibliography, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on concepts, people, works, and technical terms, Russell's impact on philosophy and related fields is made accessible to the reader in this must-have reference.

Reviews
Carey and Ongley interweave Russell's philosophical and political views throughout the dictionary. This dictionary also includes a concise introduction to Russell's evolving thought and expands upon key concepts. Carey and Ongley have produced a wonderful addition to this series, distilling and introducing a very prolific and controversial philosopher to students of philosophy., The range of Bertrand Russell's (1872-1970) interests makes a historical dictionary approach to him and his work of particular value....Where the interests of a subject range so widely, a work that helps readers navigate their way through so many themes and strands is helpful....As a result, the editors make it easy for readers, particularly those coming to Russell's work as newcomers (many implied readers will be students at college and university), to follow through themes on women's rights or ethics or religion, as well as the philosophy and logic that lie at both the centre of the book and the centre of Russell's own thinking....This historical dictionary is a welcome addition and can and should be regularly updated by readers in the field., The most significant characteristic that grabs the reader (especially if one is fluent in Russell's entire pedagogy) i the breadth and scale of this work. To contemplate and produce such a treatise about a figure, that straddles many genres, is both telling and daunting....the work, as a whole, provides both the expert and the novice with an excellent guide through Russell's epistemology, pedagogy, and history. It is simultaniously accessible and penetrating, wihtout overwhelming the reader. General libraries will find it useful, especially if they don't have works by Russell and are looking for a volume that encompasses his whole life's work. But it will draw its greatest utilitarian value from academic libraries, where the volume will greatly aid university philosophy, history, and computer science departments with its depth and scope., Carey and Ongley do a fine job of locating Russell philosophically and historically, and of giving critical explanations of his many important contributions. The Russell corpus is vast, so having a quick reference source is helpful. Recommended.
