From today: on russell
The overall assessment is not altogether fair. I think Russell rates a great deal of respect for his acute analyses when he tries to restrain his razor wit.
For example, I have just re-read (Schilpp) his comments on Dewey's final book on logic and found them highly penetrating. (Dewey's reply was clever but evaded the inconsistencies posed by his system.)
