About this listen
Dedicated as few men have been to the life of reason, Bertrand Russell has always been concerned with the basic questions to which religion also addresses itself - questions about man’s place in the universe and the nature of the good life, questions that involve life after death, morality, freedom, education, and sexual ethics. He brings to his treatment of these questions the same courage, scrupulous logic, and lofty wisdom for which his other work as philosopher, writer, and teacher has been famous. These qualities make the essays included in this collection perhaps the most graceful and moving presentation of the freethinker's position since the days of Hume and Voltaire.
Whether listeners share or reject Bertrand Russell’s views, they will find this book an invigorating challenge to set notions, a masterly statement of a philosophical position, and a pure joy to listen to. This collection was edited, with Lord Russell’s full approval and cooperation, by Professor Paul Edwards of the Philosophy Department of New York University.

A definite must read for anyone interested in moral philosophy and religion.
A well documented account and excellent example of logic and reasoning, as you would expect from Russell, which also reaffirmed why I am not a Christian.
Also an excellent early example of the weaponisation of the judicial system. More commonly known today as Lawfare and the hijacking’s of religion to achieve moral high ground and a practical guide on how to identify zealots and bigots.

Great content, deprecated by poor narrator.
These are interesting and important works of a great mind.
I'm not sure how they chose the narrator, but his slow, and often wooden, style doesn't lend itself well to the bright and intuitive writings. I got the impression that the narrator was unable to read ahead, causing a stilted style leaning more towards an amateur performer trying his his script for the first time, rather than an experienced reader. It also might sound better read by someone with an English accent.
