Bücher der Reihe The Collected Papers of Bertrand Russell

The 1896-1898 philosophical papers of Bertrand Russell, few of which were published in his lifetime, concentrate primarily on physics, arithmetic and the concept of quantity.

Grapples with the dilemma that confronted the opponents of militarism and war in the 1930s - namely, what was the politically and morally appropriate response to international aggression. This title also includes a number of manuscripts from the Bertrand Russell Archives at McMaster University.

"The Bertrand Russell Archive has as before, yielded some interesting unpublished material ... this volume lavishly footnoted, elegantly produced and a pleasure to read, is a real treat for anyone interested in Russell or in that strange remote country, Edwardian England." -- London Times Higher Education Supplement

The years covered by this volume of the "Collected Papers of Bertrand Russell" were among the most productive of Russell's entire career.

During World War I, Russell was political commentator for "The Tribune", a publication of the No-Conscription Fellowship. This volume contains many short papers from the period reflecting his response to the growing crisis.
