What I Believe.
Stock Code 114316
London, Kegan Paul, Trench, Trubner & Co., Ltd., 1925
What I Believe followed the success of Russell's popular work on the future of science, Icarus, published the preceding year. It reflects his growing scepticism towards religious dogma, promoting instead a wordview grounded on rational, scientific inquiry, and was one of the works presented at the trial in New York in 1940 which determined that Russell was unfit to teach at City College. These arguments later found completion in Why I Am Not a Christian, published over thirty-years later, which reprints in full the present essay.
