Very intellectually diverse and challenging I would recommend this book to somebody who wants to broaden their intellectual horizons and possibly here a well reasoned argument that would expand their political ideology.. Leo King said Definitely worthwhhile. The audio from the first two of these six lectures can be found online, and with a lot of searching I was able to find the third one, but the remaining lectures were nowhere to be found. Luckily there are still a few copies of the lectures in book form floating around at some libraries and on Amazon.The book is less than 100 pages in length, . 'listen' to this parrhesiastes This is simply a compilation of Reith Lecture series (1949) in a book form; you can (hint, hint) get it free from the BBC website, both the transcript (this book) AND the audio of actual text read by Bertrand Russell himself!
