Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. I have come to think that one of the main causes of trouble in the world is dogmatic and fanatical belief in some doctrine for which there is no adequate evidence. Bertrand Russell, Portraits from MemoryPortraits from Memory is one of Bertrand Russells most self-reflective and engaging books. Whilst not intended as an autobiography, it is a vivid recollection of some of his celebrated contemporaries, such as George Bernard Shaw, Sidney and Beatrice Webb and D. H. Lawrence. Russell provides some arresting and sometimes amusing insights into writers with whom he corresponded. He was fascinated by Joseph Conrad, with whom he formed a strong emotional bond, writing that his Heart of Darkness was not just a story but an expression of Conrads philosophy of life. There are also some typically pithy Russellian observations; H. G. Wells derived his importance from quantity rather than quality, whilst after a brief and fraught friendship Russell thought D. H. Lawrence had no real wish to make the world better, but only to indulge in eloquent soliloquy about how bad it was.This engaging book also includes some of Russells customary razor-sharp essays on a rich array of subjects, from his ardent pacifism, liberal politics and morality to the ethics of education, the skills of good writing and how he came to philosophy as a young man. These include A Plea for Clear Thinking, A Philosophy for Our Time and How I Write.Portraits from Memory is Russell at his best and will enthrall those new to Russell as well as those already well-acquainted with his work. This Routledge Classics edition includes a new foreword by the Russell scholar Nicholas Griffin, editor of The Selected Letters of Bertrand Russell.
