One more thing about Russell: He is a better philosopher than most (maybe everyone?) who have written such books, so he is right more often than most. But that also is a danger, as it can lead one to trust him too much, and be led astray for any mistake he may have made. I think he is right most of the time, and more often than he is often given credit for being, but I do not think he is inerrant.
"A wise man ... proportions his belief to the evidence."
