PHL 3020 BERTRAND RUSSELL
Twentieth-century philosophy is already being called the: Age of Russell. Reading Russell (1872-1970) is probably the best possible preparation for studying most of the work that has been done in the past 100 years on logic, ethics, theory of knowledge, metaphysics, political philosophy, metaphilosophy, and the history of philosophy. Russell is the last major philosopher who contributed to virtually every aspect of philosophy, thus to study Russell is to come to know a good bit about the other players in world philosophy in the 100 years since 1875.
