7. Détente or destruction, 1955-57 [2005]
- Russell, Bertrand, 1872-1970.
- London : Routledge, 2005.
- Description
- Book — lxxxiii, 718 p. : port. ; 24 cm.
- Summary
-
"Detente or Destruction, 1955-57" continues publication of Routledge's multi-volume critical edition of Bertrand Russell's shorter writings. Between September 1955 and November 1957 Russell published some 61 articles, reviews, statements, contributions to books and letters to editors, over 50 of which are contained in this volume. The texts, several of them hitherto unpublished, reveal the deepening of Russell's commitment to the anti-nuclear struggle, upon which he embarked in the previous volume of "Collected Papers" ("Man's Peril, 1954-55"). Continuing with the theme of nuclear peril, this volume contains discussion of nuclear weapons, world peace, prospects for disarmament and British-Soviet friendship against the backdrop of the Cold War. One of the key papers in this volume is Russell's message to the inaugural conference of the Pugwash movement, which Russell was instrumental in launching and which became an influential, independent forum of East-West scientific cooperation and counsel on issues as an internationally agreed nuclear test-ban. In addition to the issues of war and peace, Russell, now in his eighties, continued to take an interest in a wide variety of themes. Russell not only addresses older controversies over nationalism and empire, religious belief and American civil liberties, he also confronts head-on the new and pressing matters of armed intervention in Hungary and Suez, and of the manufacture and testing of the British hydrogen bomb. This volume includes 7 interviews ranging from East-West Relations after the Geneva conference to a Meeting with Russell.

8. Man's peril, 1954-55 [2003]
- Russell, Bertrand, 1872-1970.
- London ; New York : Routledge, 2003.
- Description
- Book — lix, 718 p. : ill. ; 24 cm.
- Summary
-
This volume of collected papers signals the reinvigoration of Russell the public campaigner. The title of the volume is taken from one of his most famous and eloquent short essays and probably the best known of his many broadcasts for the BBC. "Man's Peril, 1954-55" not only captures the essence of Russell's thinking about nuclear weapons and the Cold War in the mid-1950s, its extraordinary impact served to jolt him into political protest once again. The activism of which we glimpse the initial stirrings in this volume continued in various guises, more or less without interruption, until his death. In the writings assembled in this volume, however, he is looking towards the non-aligned states and world scientific opinion as possible brokers of detente. (The volume includes Russell's famous public statement, the declaration of scientists known as "The Russell-Einstein Manifesto".) Although Russell was becoming increasingly immersed in work for peace, this was not to the exclusion of all other interests. For example, here we find also him reminiscing about his peace campaigning during the World War I, defending "history as an art" and attacking the obscurantism of obscenity legislation and the opponents of birth control.

- Russell, Bertrand, 1872-1970.
- McMaster University ed. - London ; New York : Routledge, 2000.
- Description
- Book — ci, 684 p. : ill., maps ; 24 cm.
- Summary
-
This volume collects together the writings of Bertrand Russell during the period from 1919 to 1922. Having emerged from the Great War determined to prevent another armed conflict, Russell became a champion of international socialism as the antidote to the destructive forces of nationalism and capitalism. His quest for international reconstruction led to two enduring experiences, his trip first to Bolshevik Russia in 1920 and then to divided China in 1920-21. These letters describe those experiences which confirmed his emergence as a popular commentator on contemporary political issues.

10. Last philosophical testament : 1943-68 [1997]
- Russell, Bertrand, 1872-1970.
- McMaster University ed. - London ; New York : Routledge, 1997.
- Description
- Book — xlvii, 878 p., viii p. of plates : ill., facsims. ; 25 cm.
- Summary
-
This volume collects together Betrand Russell's philosophical writings during the period from 1947-68. For about half of this period Russell worked steadily at philosophy but after the publication of "My Philosophical Development" in 1959 he retired from academic philosophy for the second time. After that date, only the occasional philosophical piece appeared, as he was preoccupied with political writings. In this volume there are a handful of papers dated later than 1959, and all of these were written by Russell himself. This volume contains Russell's writings on diverse philosophical interests, including autobiographical and self-critical papers, critiques of other philosophers and his controversial opinions on Christianity.

12. Pacifism and revolution, 1916-18 [1995]
- Russell, Bertrand, 1872-1970.
- McMaster University ed. - New York : Routledge, 1995.
- Description
- Book — lxxxii, 630 p. : ill. ; 25 cm.
- Summary
-
This volume begins with Russell becoming the Acting Chairman of the No-Conscription Fellowship (NCF) very soon after the establishment of the Lloyd George Coalition. The Coalition signalled the official British resolve to defeat Germany decisively. This uncompromising determination was matched by the German decision in January 1917 to initiate unrestricted submarine warfare. By contrast with Volume 13, this volume contains many short papers. These documents reflect Russell's immediate responses to developments in the conflict as seen from his position as the important political commentator for the official weekly publication of the NCF, "The Tribunal". Volume 14 shows how Russell continued to develop those patterns of political argument, rhetoric and activism characteristic of him thoughout his life.

B1649 .R91 1983 V.4 | Unknown |
- Russell, Bertrand, 1872-1970.
- London ; New York : Routledge, 1993.
- Description
- Book — lviii, 895 p. ; 25 cm.
- Summary
-
This volume shows Russell in transition from a neo-Kantian and neo-Hegelian philosopher to an analytic philosopher of the first rank. During this period, his research centred on writing "The Principles of Mathematics" where he drew together previously unpublished drafts. These shed light on Russell's paradox. This material aims to alter previous accounts of how he discovered his paradox and the related paradox of the largest cardinal. The volume also includes a previously unpublished draft of an early attempt to solve his paradox, as well as the earliest known version of his generalized relation arithmetic. It contains three articles which have not previously been published in English.

15. Logical and philosophical papers, 1909-13 [1992]
- Russell, Bertrand, 1872-1970.
- London ; New York : Routledge, 1992.
- Description
- Book — lxix, 562 p. : port. ; 24 cm.
- Summary
-
The years covered by this volume of the "Collected Papers of Bertrand Russell" were among the most productive of Russell's entire career. In addition to the papers reprinted here, he brought "Principia Mathematica" to its finished form and wrote "The Problems of Philosophy, Theory of Knowledge" and "Knowledge of the External World". In October 1910 he began teaching at Cambridge, having accepted an appointment as lecturer in logic and the principles of mathematics at Trinity College for a term of five years. A year later Ludwig Wittgenstein began to attend his lectures. Within a few months he was influencing Russell's philosophical thinking as much as, or more than, Russell was influencing his.
