This book examines Bertrand Russell’s complicated relationships
to the women around him, and to feminism more generally. The essays
in this volume offer scholarly reassessments of these relationships
and their import for the history of feminism and of analytic
philosophy. Russell is a founder of analytic philosophy. He has
also been called a feminist due to his public, decades-long
advocacy for women’s rights and equality of the sexes. But his
private behavior towards wives and sexual partners, and his
apparently dismissive (occasionally public) responses to some women
philosophers, raises the question of what sort of feminist (or
chauvinist) Russell actually was. Focusing on women in Russell’s
circle of acquaintance, including feminist activists and his
philosophical interlocutors, this book casts new light on a
timeless thinker’s feminism and the women who played critical
roles in the making of analytic philosophy.
This book offers a comprehensive critical survey of issues of
historical interpretation and evaluation in Bertrand Russell's 1918
logical atomism lectures and logical atomism itself. These lectures
record the culmination of Russell's thought in response to
discussions with Wittgenstein on the nature of judgement and
philosophy of logic and with Moore and other philosophical realists
about epistemology and ontological atomism, and to Whitehead and
Russell’s novel extension of revolutionary nineteenth-century
work in mathematics and logic.  Russell's logical
atomism lectures have had a lasting impact on analytic philosophy
and on Russell's contemporaries including Carnap, Ramsey, Stebbing,
and Wittgenstein. Comprised of 14 original essays, this book
will demonstrate how the direct and indirect influence of these
lectures thus runs deep and wide.
