In a century rich in the development of philosophical ideas, Bertrand Russell stands pre-eminent. Especially in the philosophy of language, formal semantics, logic, the philosophy of mathematics, and the history of philosophy, developments can be traced directly to Russell. Along with Frege, he set the stage for new thought in analytic philosophy in the twentieth century. This anthology of essays by contemporary philosophers is a sampling of recent important work on both Russell and his influence. Most of the studies are interpretive. Some place Russell within his historical context; others probe the internal tensions that often underpin his intellectual growth. In total, these essays make the reader cognizant of the legacy of intellectual thought which Russell contributed to this century.
