Bertrand Russell: Graphic Novel
The new comic-strip sensation ‘Logicomix‘ is the story of the quest for the foundation of mathematics, starring and narrated by Bertrand Russell, the British logician, philosopher, mathematician, reformer, pacifist, activist, jailbird, and chronic womanizer. It’s set 50 years ago on 4 September, 1939, when Russell arrived at an American university to lecture on “The Role of Logic in Human Affairs” before a sceptical audience, just after Britain had declared war on Germany. The book delves into Russell’s past, his childhood and the first inklings of his search for the myriad certainties upon which math and science ultimately rest.
