编辑推荐 Review 'All academic libraries catering for serious philosophers will want to stock copies of this book, to sit alongside the 28 volumes of Russell's collected papers and his 22 monograph philosophical works.' Reference Reviews 'This book does the job of a Companion extremely well whilst managing a few surprises along the way. We are given a wealth of historical background material surrounding Russell's early work that is extremely well researched and, at times, highly illuminating, together with clarity and coherence of exposition regarding some extremely challenging areas in logic, mathematics, philosophy of language, metaphysics and epistemology. This is combined with original and interesting interpretation that can meet the demands of more advanced Russell scholars without detracting from its usefulness as a reference work. Doubtless this will prove a valuable addition to work on Russell for many years to come.' British Journal for the History of Philosophy
