In Marriage and Morals Russell argues that the laws and ideas about sex of his time were a potpourri from various sources which were no longer valid with the advent of contraception as the sexual acts are now separated from the conception.

From the library of philosopher and historian of mathematics Dietrich Mahnke dated June 1939 on front pastedown noting that the marginalia are those of the previous owner Professor Friedrich Kunke. Rare and desirable with noted provenance. In 1959 Russell wrote My Philosophical Development in which he recalled the impetus to write the Principles "It was at the International Congress of Philosophy in Paris in the year 1900 that I became aware of the importance of logical reform for the philosophy of mathematics. . I was impressed by the fact that in every discussion Peano showed more precision and more logical rigour than was shown by anybody else. . It was Peano's works that gave the impetus to my own views on the principles of mathematics." This work was supposed to be followed by a second volume that would explain entirely in symbolic terms the relationship of logic to mathematics. However after finding out that his mentor Alfred Whitehead planned to published a similar work Russell approached Whitehead about a collaboration. The result was Principia Mathematica published between 1910 and 1913. Cambridge University Press hardcover books
1959117453London: George Allen & Unwin Ltd 1959. First edition of this work by the Nobel Prize-winning author in which he summarizes his philosophical beliefs and explains how they changed during his life. Octavo original cloth. Signed by Bertrand Russell on the half-title page. Fine in a near fine dust jacket. Uncommon signed. Russell gives an account of his philosophical development. He describes his Hegelian period and includes hitherto unpublished notes for a Hegelian philosophy of science. He deals next with the two-fold revolution involved with his abandonment of idealism and adoption of a mathematical logic founded upon that of Giuseppe Peano. After two chapters on Principia Mathematica 1910-1913 he passes to the problems of perception as dealt with in Our Knowledge of the External World 1914. In a chapter on 'The Impact of Wittgenstein' Russell examines what he now thinks must be accepted and what rejected in that philosopher's work. He notes the changes from earlier theories required by the adoption of William James's view that sensation is not essentially relational and is not per se a form of knowledge. In an explanatory chapter he endeavours to remove misconceptions of and objections to his theories as to the relation of perception to scientific knowledge. George Allen & Unwin Ltd hardcover books
