Russell’s works remain their own best introduction, but there is a large
literature on Russell and the various aspects of his philosophy, some of which
carries much further the debates he started. A. J. Ayer’s Bertrand Russell (Fontana, 1972) and Russell
and Moore; The Analytical Heritage (Harvard University Press, 1971)
provide a sympathetic introduction. R. M. Sainsbury’s Russell (Routledge, 1979) gives an absorbing technical discussion of
Russell’s central work. Peter Hylton’s Russell, Idealism and
the Emergence of Analytic Philosophy (Clarendon Press, 1990) is
essential reading for any serious study of Russell’s thought. Nicholas Griffin’s
Russell’s Idealist Apprenticeship (Clarendon
Press, 1991) is an excellent detailed study of Russell’s early work in
philosophy.
There are a number of collections of essays on aspects of Russell’s work.
E. D. Klemke (ed.), Essays on Bertrand Russell
(University of Illinois Press, 1971), D. F. Pears (ed.), Bertrand Russell (Anchor Books, 1972), G. W. Roberts (ed.),
Bertrand Russell Memorial Volume (Allen
& Unwin, 1979), P. A. Schilpp (ed.), The Philosophy
of Bertrand Russell, 3rd edn. (Tudor
Publishing, 1951), are to be found in
most academic libraries and between them cover much ground.
Alan Ryan’s Bertrand Russell: A Political
Life (Penguin Books, 1988) is excellent on the ‘applied’ side of
Russell’s activities.
