Bertrand Russells professional philosophical reputation rests mainly on his mathematical logic and theory of knowledge. This study, first published in 1985, however, considers Russells writings on ethics and metaethics and uncovers the conceptual unity in Russells normative ethic. It traces that unity to the influence of Spinozas central ethical concept, the intellectual love of God, and then evaluates the ethic which is termed impersonal self-enlargement.
This book provides a positive re-evaluation of Russells status in the major philosophical field of ethics and is welcomed by students of moral philosophy as well as those interested in Bertrand Russells works.

He traces that unity to the influence of Spinozas central ethical concept, the intellectual love of God, and then evaluates the ethic which he terms impersonal self-enlargement.
The introduction discusses the metaethical background to Russells ethic and the difficulties inherent in Russells view that ethical knowledge is not possible. The first section then examines Russells writings on Spinoza from 1894 to 1964, dividing them into three periods, the second part analyzes Russells two interpretations of the main concept, traces ''impersonal self-enlargement'' in Russells own ethical writings, and evaluates the ethic in relation to other ethical theories and on its own merits as a way of living.
This book provides a foundation for a positive re-evaluation of Russells status in the major philosophical field of ethics and will be welcomed by students of moral philosophy as well as those interested in Bertrand Russells works.
