Bertrand Russell's philosophical positions on nuclear war, peace, and language are critically examined in this collection of essays by leading scholars. The contributors delve into his controversial advocacy for preventive war against the Soviets, his peace activism, and his critiques of Wittgenstein’s ordinary language analysis. By situating Russell's arguments within their historical and philosophical contexts, the essays highlight the enduring relevance of his ideas, even 80 years after their initial presentation.
