It contains enough history to situate the reader in Russell’s intellectual era, but also enough contemporary philosophy to situate Russell in ours. There are chapters on Russell’s connections to British idealism, Meinongianism, Wittegenstein, logical positivism and pragmatism. There are also chapters on contemporary issues in logic, epistemology, ethics, the philosophy of mind and the philosophy of language. Anyone interested in contemporary debates surrounding the resurgence of neutral monism, logicism, foundationalism and error theory will be richly rewarded by revisiting Russell through this volume. Russell Wahl and his contributors are to be commended for showing us why Russell remains such a towering figure in philosophy today. * Andrew Irvine, Head of Economics, Philosophy and Political Science, University of British Columbia Okanagan, Canada *\u003cbr\u003eAn excellent resource. Adroitly edited, the volume combines luminous discussions of central topics in Russell scholarship with insightful explorations of less frequently discussed topics. It manages to showcase the vibrant state of Russell scholarship while also containing much that will be of interest to the general philosophical reader. * Ian Proops, Professor of Philosophy, The University of Texas at Austin, USA *\u003cbr\u003eThe volume is admirably produced: well-researched, well-balanced and well-written. It contributes significantly to our understanding of one of the most influential philosophers of the 20th century . . . it effectively summarizes practically every major line of investigation in recent Russell studies. I personally enjoyed reading the volume, including those chapters on which I made polemical remarks, and learned a lot from it. As readable as it is informative, the volume deserves a place high on the reading list of both the student new to Russell as well as the seasoned professional philosopher. * Notre Dame Philosophical Review *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Contributors Abbreviations for works written by Russell Bertrand Russell – A Timeline  Introduction  \u003cb\u003ePart I: Russell in Context\u003c\/b\u003e 1.
