About this product

Product Information

Dedicated as few men have been to the life of reason, Bertrand Russell has always been concerned with the basic questions to which religion also addresses itself -- questions about man's place in the universe and the nature of the good life, questions that involve life after death, morality, freedom, education, and sexual ethics. He brings to his treatment of these questions the same courage, scrupulous logic, and lofty wisdom for which his other work as philosopher, writer, and teacher has been famous. These qualities make the essays included in this book perhaps the most graceful and moving presentation of the freethinker's position since the days of Hume and Voltaire."I am as firmly convinced that religions do harm as I am that they are untrue," Russell declares in his Preface, and his reasoned opposition to any system or dogma which he feels may shackle man's mind runs through all the essays in this book, whether they were written as early as 1899 or as late as 1954.The book has been edited, with Lord Russell's full approval and cooperation, by Professor Paul Edwards of the Philosophy Department of New York University. In an Appendix, Professor Edwards contributes a full account of the highly controversial "Bertrand Russell Case" of 1940, in which Russell was judicially declared "unfit" to teach philosophy at the College of the City of New York.Whether the reader shares or rejects Bertrand Russell's views, he will find this book an invigorating challenge to set notions, a masterly statement of a philosophical position, and a pure joy to read.

    Compelling reading.

    Bertrand Russell a somewhat forgotten genius. A winner of the Nobel Prize for literature.

    Why I Am Not A Christian and other essays...

    This book will blow you away. He's not trying to make everyone atheist, he just wants you to think about the whole religion ideal. Why do you need it, etc. He does come up with some excellent points. He's not just on a soap box running his mouth either. This is researched ideas. Like I said, regardless of your religious beliefs, this is a smart read. Do check it out.

    Why I Am Not a Christian

    This collection of Russell's essays is remarkably accessible to the average reader while presenting an insightful philosophy. If you are interested in an introduction to Russell's philosophy then these essays would be a great place to start. Even while discussing his differences with mainstream morality and society Russell never lectures the reader or seeks to "preach" his viewpoint and for this reason I highly recomend this collection of essays.
