Books by author: Bertrand Russell

This appeared to be a collection of cogent articles arguing against organized religion and in favor of "nice people". On the surface, it sounds like my personal philosophy, but I have to say that many of his arguments are flawed. In much the same way that his Principia Mathematica failed to be a "complete" system of mathematics, his attempts to "prove" that organized religion is bad are no more bulletproof than Christianity's insistence on blind faith. Regardless, his liberalism was extremely progressive for the time of writing (the early part of this century), and many of his arguments are worth considering. I didn't read all of the essays; they got pretty repetitive.
