Download or read book Unpopular Essays written by Bertrand Russell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-04-22 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume of essays Bertrand Russell is concerned to combat, in one way or another, the growth of dogmatism, whether of the Right or of the Left, which has hitherto characterised our tragic century. This serious purpose inspires them even if, at times, they seem flippant; for those who are solemn and pontifical. In subject they range from Philosophy for the Layman, The Functions of a Teacher, and The Future of Mankind to an Outline of Intellectual Rubbish, Ideas that have helped Mankind and Ideas that have Harmed Mankind.
