This book completes the most thorough of the ever published studies of the life and work of Bertrand Russell. And if the first volume Ray Monk devoted to the huge achievements of Russell in philosophy and his often painful relations with friends and lover, then in the center of the second volume there is a tragic, even heartbreaking history of Russell’s relationship with his eldest son John. Following the example of the Autobiography of Russell, his previous biographies, talking about the second half of his life, were focused on his social activity - on the basis of the school, the political campaign for peace, etc. All this is described in detail in this book, but it is distinguished by the fact that it is distinguished by the fact that it is distinguished by the fact that it is distinguished by the fact that it is distinguished by It illuminates the most important relations in his life, in which he invested most of the time and mental strength and which have still remained largely without attention. The book traces the whole story: with the enthusiasm of Russell at the birth of his son to horror, when he lost his mind, and it becomes clear how ardently he believed in education and upbringing in the creation of a “fearless, independent and free” generation, an example of which was supposed to become an example John, and, accordingly, how disappointed and shocked when John was a schizophrenic, and reforming society was much more complicated than he imagined
