El ingenio y la sabiduría de Bertrand Russell

From a very young age, Bertrand Russell was characterized by his inquisitive spirit; there was no theme or axiom on which he did not have a question. An admirer of Euclid since he was eleven years old, for Russell mathematics became a lifelong passion. A voracious, studious and self-taught reader, he delved into poetry, philosophy, history, politics, ethics, metaphysics, mathematical philosophy, epistemology and the philosophy of science, becoming interested in the controversies and issues that defined his era: imperialism, free trade, women's suffrage, and World War I. In The Wit and Wisdom of Bertrand Russell, the 1950 Nobel Prize for Literature winner gives us a taste of the keen logic of his mind. A selection that allows us to discover a thinker who discussed an astonishing variety of subjects with fluency and depth, making him one of the most lucid and productive figures of the 20th century.
