Except for its belated proof of 1 + 1 = 2, Principia Mathematica doesn’t feature in studies of mathematical humour. Yet there is restrained and understated humour in that work, despite the inauspicious conditions under which it was written. Russell, to take one of the authors, had an irrepressible talent for enlivening his subject matter. This paper explores even the "obscure corners" of PM to uncover its humour and wit, which, for non-logicians, can be an entree to the work.

Bertrand Russell’s professional philosophical reputation rests mainly on his mathematical logic and theory of knowledge. In this study, first published in 1985, however, Kenneth Blackwell considers Russell’s writings on ethics and metaethics and uncovers the conceptual unity in Russell’s normative ethic. He traces that unity to the influence of Spinoza’s central ethical concept, the ‘intellectual love of God’, and then evaluates the ethic which he terms ‘impersonal self-enlargement’. The introduction discusses the metaethical background to Russell’s ethic and the (...) difficulties inherent in Russell’s view that ethical knowledge is not possible. The first section then examines Russell’s writings on Spinoza from 1894 to 1964, dividing them into three periods, the second part analyzes Russell’s two interpretations of the main concept, traces 'impersonal self-enlargement' in Russell’s own ethical writings, and evaluates the ethic in relation to other ethical theories and on its own merits as a ‘way of living’. This book provides a foundation for a positive re-evaluation of Russell’s status in the major philosophical field of ethics and will be welcomed by students of moral philosophy as well as those interested in Bertrand Russell’s works.

The extant manuscript is described in relation to Russell’s Trinity College lecture course in 1899 and its subsequent preparation for the book of 1900. Alterations within the MS are reported. So are revisions that must have followed on a missing typescript, as derived from comparing G. E. Moore’s copy of the page proofs with the MS. His suggested changes are compared with the text of the first edition along with emendations Russell must have made on his own copy of the (...) proofs. (shrink)

Bertrand Russell's literary legacy encompasses an enormous quantity of correspondence and manuscripts. He first disposed of his papers to McMaster University in 1968, but withheld confidential files. The First Russell Archives as it is known at McMaster, was the subject of A detailed catalogue of the Archives of Bertrand Russell prior to the sale and was edited by Barry Feinberg. At the same time Russell and the staff at the Russell Peace Foundation continued to create new documents which arrived at (...) McMaster some years after Lord Russell's death in 1970. They are now the subject of a separate book catalogue, prepared by Russell Archivist Kenneth Blackwell, Carl Spadoni and other staff in the University Library. (shrink)

_Theory of Knowledge_ gives us a picture of one of the great minds of the twentieth century at work. It is possible to see the unsolved problems left without disguise or evasion. Historically, it is invaluable to our understanding of both Russell's own thought and his relationship with Wittgenstein.

Although Russell included in his general index most of the authors he cited in the _Principles_, he still omitted a fair number, including Moore for one article and his own writings many times. Some of his citations are incomplete, vague, or in error. This index offers full citations for all 166 of his references to the literature of his subject.

Leakage of employment income is a pressing issue in the economic development of regional and remote communities. It can draw income away from regional economies but also inject new revenue from outside. Using Australian Bureau of Statistics 2011 census employment data by place of usual residence and place of work, we identify for all 17 Local Government Areas (LGAs) of the Northern Territory (NT), workers commuting out of and into each LGA. Using summary graphs and geospatial visualizations we find that (...) while there is substantial leakage out of most LGAs there are also gains from those leaving an LGA to work and then returning home with their income. Overall, for most LGAs and all remote LGAs there is net leakage. In contrast, Wagait, Palmerston, Litchfield and Alice Springs experience net gains from work commuting. Core-Periphery staples theory (Carson 2011) helps explain these net gaining LGAs, but cannot be used to consistently explain net leakage or net gain for population centers and nearby periphery LGAs. Darwin, including parts of Unincorporated NT, together act as a net leakage core to surrounding commuter LGAs such as Palmerston, Litchfield and Wagait. Katherine also acts as a net leakage core for surrounding peripheral LGAs despite receiving some offsetting employment income gains through mining. In addition to Katherine, Mining and the supporting Construction industry are also delivering net employment income gains to the core centers of Darwin, Palmerston, and Litchfield from periphery and typically remote LGAs. For remote mining commuters, these core centers offer preferred places to live. In contrast to Darwin and Katherine, Alice Springs acts as an employment income sink drawing on net employment gains from periphery remote LGAs. Our geospatial visualizations also help to identify the leakage vulnerability of remote LGAs dependent on mining like Central Desert and East Arnhem. Of all the remote LGAs, East Arnhem has the highest average net leakage of income across the most diversified distribution of industries, primarily derived from mining and its supporting construction and upstream manufacturing industries. Combined, these factors make East Arnhem particularly vulnerable to mining related downturns. Also, Alice Springs and Coomalie are highly vulnerable to commuting in Business Services and Public and Personal Services respectively. However, these vulnerabilities also cloak hidden flexibilities to deal with job losses during downturns. Undertaking our analysis for a number of census years could help decision makers build scenarios for future economic development and employment. (shrink)

Russell preserved notes he took on McTaggart’s course on Lotze’s major works in 1898. They are published here for the first time. Russell’s abbreviations are expanded and deletions noted. N. Milkov introduces the notes and provides Russell’s biographical and philosophical background. The course on Lotze, on whose philosophy of geometry Russell had already written, was influential in his development away from monism.

From 1895, the year he published his first signed article, to four days before his death in 1970 when he wrote his last, Bertrand Russell was a powerful force in the world of mathematics, philosophy, human rights and the struggle for peace. During those years he published 70 books, almost as many pamphlets and over 2,000 articles, he also contributed pieces to some 200 books. The availability of the Bertrand Russell Archives at McMaster University since 1968 has made it possible (...) for the first time to compile a full, descriptive bibliography of his writings. The Collected Papers are based on it. Fully annotated, the Bibliography is textually oriented and will guide the scholar, collector and general reader to the authoritative editions of Russell's works. It includes references to the locations of all known speeches and interviews, and reproductions of the dust-jackets of Russell's books. Blackwell, Ruja and Turcon have cooperated for nearly 20 years on the new Bibliography. Lord Russell saw the extensive additions for it near the end of his life and declared: `I am impressed.'.

In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:Protest Vaclav Havel Stanek's ground-floorstudy in his house on the outskirts of Prague. The house is surroundedby a garden. Doorbell.The front dooris opened. STANEK: (Loud,cordial.) Vanek!-Hello! (Thefront dooris closed.) VANEK: (Noncommittal.) Hello, Mr. StanekSTANEK : Come in, come in! (Pause.Sudden outburstof emotion.) Vanek! My dear fellow! (Pause.Conversationally.)Did you have trouble finding it? VANEK: Not reallySTANEK : Forgot to mention the flowering magnolias. That's how you know it's my house. (...) Superb, aren't they? VANEK: YesSTANEK : I managed to double their blossoms in less than three years, compared to the previous owner. Have you magnolias in your garden? VANEK: NoSTANEK : You must have them! I'm going to find you two quality saplings and I'll come and plant them for you personally. (Crosses to the bar.) How about some brandy? VANEK: I'd rather not, Mr. Stanek, if you don't mindSTANEK : Come on, Vanek! Just a token one. Eh? @ 1978 Copyright by Vaclav Havel; Translation @ 1984 Copyright by Vera Blackwell.

VANEK: (Shuddersslightly. Emits a soft groan.) STANEK: I was afraid you weren't going to come. VANEK: Why? STANEK: Well, I mean, things got mixed up in an odd sort of way-What? -Won't you sit down? VANEK: (Sitsdown in an armchair,placinghis briefcase on the floorbeside him.) ThanksSTANEK : (Sinksinto anarmchairopposite Vanek witha sigh.) That'smore like it! Peanuts? VANEK: No, thanksSTANEK : (Helps himself Munching) You haven't changed much in all these years, you know? VANEK: Neither have youSTANEK : Me? Come on! Getting on for fifty, going gray, aches and pains setting in-Not as we used to be, eh? And the present times don't make one feel any better either, what? When did we see each other last, actually? VANEK: I don't knowSTANEK : Wasn't it at your last opening night? VANEK: Could beSTANEK : Seems like another age! We had a bit of an argumentVANEK : Did we? STANEK: You took me to task for my illusions and my over-optimism. Good Lord! How often since then I've had to admit to myself you were right! Of course, in those days I still believed that in spite of everything some of the ideals of my youth could be salvaged and I took you for an incorrigible pessimist. VANEK: But I'm not a pessimistSTANEK : You see, everything's turned around! (Shortpause.) Are youalone? VANEK: How do you mean, alone? STANEK: Well, isn't there somebody-you knowVANEK : Following me? STANEK: Not that I care! After all, it was me who rang you up, right? VANEK: I haven't noticed anybody46 STANEK: By the way, suppose you want to shake them off one of these days, you know the best place to do it? VANEK: NoSTANEK : A department store. You mingle with the.crowd, then at a moment when they aren't looking you sneak into the loo and wait there for about two hours. They become convinced you managed to slip out through a side entrance and they give up. You must try it sometime! VANEK:.(Pause.) Seems very peaceful hereSTANEK : That's why we moved here. It was simply impossible to go on writing near that railway station! We've been here three years, you know. Of course, my greatest joy is the garden. I'll show you around later-I'm afraid I'm going to boast a littleVANEK : You do the gardening yourself? STANEK: It's become my greatest private passion these days. Keep puttering about there almost every day. Just now I've been rejuvenating the apricots. Developed my own method, you see, based on a mixture of natural and artificial fertilizers plus a special way of waxless grafting. You won't believe the results I get! I'll find some cuttings for you later on- (Opensalarge silverbox oncoffee table between them.) Would... (shrink)

Some of his citations are incomplete, vague, or in error. This index offers full citations for all 166 of his references to the literature of his subject.
