The intellectual footprint of Bertrand Russell is expansive indeed, spanning mathematics, philosophy, and moral thought. Working directly from McMaster University's Bertrand Russell archive,Dr. Louis Greenspan brings us this analysis of Russell's treatment of the issue of freedom in a technological society. In the author's own words, the discord between...a scientifically organized world and a free one, is sometimes so great in Russell that one could speak of a contradiction. The importance of this work as a study of the most critical problems of liberalism and the intellectual problems it presents in certain settings cannot be ignored.
