Upcoming Spring Events
The Bertrand Russell SocietyHosted by: Dr. David White This ongoing lecture series promises to enlighten and entertain. Monthly meetings are open to everyone, not just members of the Bertrand Russell Society. This Month: John Zeis on Theology, Falsification and Anthony Flew During the late 1920s and early 30s, Bertrand Russell, then a world-famous philosopher, did a series of three books for Horace Liveright, the New York publishing house which had invented the Modern Library and was well known for publishing controversial authors. Russell's books and the U.S. lecture tours he took at the same time were all great successes. Some of his ideas for reform of self, marriage, education and society are taken for granted today, others have been rejected, but the study of Russell's popular advocacy between the wars provides us with a unique portrait of what the American mind was seeing and thinking about during what came to be called the Jazz Age..
