Living in an Atomic Age - Bertrand Russell

The Cold War in the wake of World War II found the entire world in the throes of fears of possible nuclear warfare.

Having barely caught its breath after the second World War, the world quickly realized the consequences of the Atomic Age--its potential benefits and certainly its potential perils.

Many of the world's greatest thinkers and philosophers struggled to cope with the words and ideas that might reconcile the advent of the Nuclear Age with the morals, beliefs and philosophies of the previous 5,000 years

Bertrand Arthur William Russell was a British mathematician, philosopher, logician, and public intellectual.

1. Present Perplexities
2. Obsolete Ideas
3. The Modern Mastery of Nature
4. The Limits of Human Power
5. Conflict and Unification
6. Achievement of Harmony

Russell had a considerable influence on mathematics, logic, set theory, linguistics, artificial intelligence, cognitive science, computer science, and various areas of analytic philosophy, especially philosophy of mathematics, philosophy of language, epistemology, and metaphysics. He was one of the early 20th century's most prominent logicians and a founder of analytic philosophy. (Wikipedia)
