Summary: How could Cambridge do this to one of their own
Comment: I have never felt compelled to review any book before. I have read 14 of the Cambridge Companions, some of them have been spotty but this one should be thrown out and the second edition let out to a new editor.
The biographical introduction explains Russell's long varied and interesting career. It then spends the first half of the book on articles on his logic. Most of these articles are not written in English but in an academic jargon of symbolic logic, pages and pages of it. (If you buy the book read chapter 3 and skip the rest.) The book then goes on to be a little more interesting concerning his epistomology and metaphysics.
The final chapter concerns whether he was a moral philospher and I believe justifies that he was.
But the book barely notes what his moral philosphy was, anything about his political philosophy and nothing about his comments on religion. Russell spent a large part of his life expressing couragious and unpopular ideas. This volume totally ignores this aspect of his works and concentrates on how one might legitimately say "The current King of France is bald" (hint- there is no current King of France)While this is an interesting logical question, it is not worth 300 pages.
