My Philosophical Development. Illustrated

About this book

In My Philosophical Development, Bertrand Russell offers a fascinating intellectual autobiography, tracing the evolution of his thought from early idealism to the logical empiricism that defined much of his later work. One of the most influential philosophers of the 20th century, Russell provides a rare, firsthand account of how his ideas were shaped by experience, debate, and the changing landscape of philosophical inquiry.The book explores key moments in Russell's intellectual journey, from his early engagement with Hegelian philosophy to his groundbreaking work in logic and mathematics, culminating in his contributions to analytic philosophy. He discusses his collaborations and disagreements with major thinkers such as Alfred North Whitehead, Ludwig Wittgenstein, and G.E. Moore, offering unique insights into the development of 20th-century philosophy.With characteristic clarity and wit, Russell not only examines abstract philosophical questions but also reflects on the broader impact of philosophy on society, ethics, and politics. More than just an academic retrospective, My Philosophical Development is a deeply personal and engaging exploration of the pursuit of truth. Essential for students of philosophy and those interested in Russell's legacy, this book is a testament to the power of critical thinking and intellectual curiosity.
