Bertrand Russell
About this listen
Remarkably relevant, beautifully written, and filled with wit and wisdom, these three essays by Bertrand Russell allow the listener to test the concepts of the good life, morality, the existence of God, Christianity, and human nature. "What I Believe" was used prominently in the 1940 New York court proceedings in which Russell was judicially declared "unfit" to teach philosophy at City College of New York. "Why I Am Not a Christian" concludes that churches throughout history have retarded progress and states that we should instead "look to our own efforts here below to make this world a fit place to live in." Finally, "A Free Man's Worship", perhaps the most famous single essay written by Russell, considers whether humans operate from free will.
©1925, 1927 Bertrand Russell (P)1995 The Audio Partners PublishingCritic Reviews
"Russell is one of our time's brilliant spokesmen of rationality and humanity, a fearless champion of free speech and free thought." (The Swedish Academy, on awarding Bertrand Russell the Nobel Prize for Literature, 1950)

Reading An Enlightened Rebel
I had quoted Bertrand Russell often but I hardly remember reading any of his full-length books. This first experience was delightful. He is a rebel with a cause. To rebel against the steel-gripped stinking societal systems especially in those dark times was not easy. There was no social or electronic media to support his brilliant ideas. Amidst all these odds he conceived and spread his genuinely original ideas. This book is a result of one such. If you have an open mind to get your own dogmas challenged then dont miss reading this book. For me it was a very satisfying experience.

Another phenomenal story in the Tau Ceti series.
Found it a little drawn out, but didn't find it any less engaging. Diana Moore certainly brings he'll to those Chiatas. Another action packed thriller from Travis. Really hope to have a Netflix series on this.
