posted on Nov. 17: Bringing Bertrand Russell to the masses

British author and philosopher Ray Monk is on campus today to sign his newest book on 20th-century philosopher Bertrand Russell (Monk will be at Titles between 12:45 and 1:30). Last night Monk gave a lecture on Russell's life and work at the official opening of McMaster's Bertrand Russell Research Centre. He will also give a lecture this afternoon for the Department of Philosophy on A Room Not of One's Own: Wittgenstein and Virginia Woolf on Biography, at 2 p.m. in Convocation Hall, UH-213. The most important advantage of the newly established Russell Centre will be the opportunities it offers for promoting McMaster as the international home of Russell studies. Photo: Ron Scheffler
