1900年に,私の「ライブニッツの哲学」(A Critical Exposition of the Philosophy of Leibniz, 1900)に関する著書が出版された。その年の7月(ラッセル28歳),私はパリに行き,そこで,わが人生の新しい章が始まった。 ★第1巻第5章・付録:「書 簡」(索引) *この章には,この後に,7本の手紙がつけられている。 |
In the autumn of 1899 the Boer War broke out. I was at that time a Liberal Imperialist, and at first by no means a pro-Boer. British defeats caused me much anxiety, and I could think of nothing else but the war news. We were living at The Millhanger, and I used most afternoons to walk the four miles to the station in order to get an evening paper. Alys, being American, did not have the same feelings in the matter, and was rather annoyed by my absorption in it. When the Boers began to be defeated, my interest grew less, and early in 1901 I became a pro-Boer. In the year 1900, my book on the Philosophy of Leibniz was published. In July of that year I went to Paris, where a new chapter of my life began. |
