This monograph reappraises the role of Bertrand Russell's philosophical works in establishing the analytical tradition in philosophy. It's main aims are to:

* improve our understanding of the history of analytical philosophy

* engage in the important disputes surrounding the interpretation of Russell's philosophy

* make a contribution to central issues in current analytical philosophy.

Drawing extensively from Russell's less well known and unpublished works, this book is a welcome addition to the literature and will undoubtedly find a place on the bookshelves of philosophers around the world.
