The general view of Russell's work among philosophers has been that
repeatedly, during his long and distinguished career, crucial
changes of mind on fundamental points were significant enough to
cause him to successively adopt a diversity of radically new
philosophical positions. Thus, Russell is seen to have embraced and
then abandoned, amongst others, neo-Hegelianism, Platonic realism,
phenomenalism and logical atomism, before settling finally on a
form of neutral monism that philosophers have generally found to be
incredible. However, in recent years there have been signs of
increasing awareness that the extent to which Russell was prone to
change philosophical position may have been greatly exaggerated.
This book represents the first detailed attempt to trace the
fundamental unity that lies within all of Russell's philosophical
work, as well as the reasons behind those limited orderly changes
that did, in fact, occur within it. The main thesis of the book is
that there is a lot more continuity in Russell's philosophy than
has been usually acknowledged, and that the major changes that do
occur are much more orderly than Russell's reputation for
erratically changing his views allows. Drawing on a wide selection
of Russell's own statements, a general account of Russellian
analysis is developed which shows it to have a highly organised
structure, which he consistently applies throughout all of his
post-idealist philosophising. This book is addressed primarily to
serious students of Russell's philosophy, and is suitable for use
in both postgraduate and undergraduate courses on Russell's
philosophy generally, on specific aspects of his work, or on
analytic philosophy in the twentieth century. However, the book is
written clearly enough to be read by the many general readers
interested in finding out more about Russell's philosophy.
