Bertrand Russell

Actually, I listened to a reading of this lecture on YouTube and, although I cannot claim to be in anyway a fan of Russell in particular or indeed of analytic philosophy in general I must say that the logic running through this lecture is quite interesting even if not entirely impeccable; nevertheless pointing out the inconsistencies of the dogmatism and hypocrisies of today's self-proclaimed practitioners, and, of course, delivered with that perfect British wit and understatement. It strikes me in fact as a social critique of the practice of Christianity as a deontology.
