Essays in Skepticism

These brief and poorly strung-together essays show Russell at his worst - they are slapdash, intolerant and devoid of serious argument. Embarrassing to read, they appear to have been published by the Philosophical Library in a cheap, mass market format to capitalize on the aging Russell's legendary reputation. Skip and read instead "Why I Am Not A Christian" (1957 - originally delivered as a lecture on March 6, 1927 to the National Secular Society, South London Branch, at Battersea Town Hall). ( )
