Contemplados en su contexto social, los conflictos politicos de nuestra epoca despiertan intereses que nublan la objetividad de las opiniones. Bertrond Russell propone garantizar esta objetividad instalandonos en el marco de una etica imparcial, incompatible con cualquier fanatismo.

A dissertation in the tradition of logical positivism includes a discussion of the functions and methods of philosophy and a critique of ethics and theology.

A sampler of Russell's writings from 1963 to 1959 which provides representative selections from his multifarious writings. The book is designed more for the general reader than for the scholar interested in piecing together the complex mosaic of the man and his work. There is a preface by Bertrand Russell. Handsomely printed, the total effect shows once again how unique and many-sided is this twentieth-century intellectual explorer.--R. J. B.
