Book Hero thinking about your next read

A remarkable work, What I Believe remains the best concise introduction to Russell's thought.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Along with Why I Am Not a Christian, this essay must rank as the most articulate example of Russell's famed atheism. It is also one of the most notorious.

Used as evidence in a 1940 court case in which Russell was declared unfit to teach college-level philosophy, What I Believe was to become one of his most defining works. The ideas contained within were and are controversial, contentious and—to the religious—downright blasphemous.

A remarkable work, it remains the best concise introduction to Russell's thought.
