Last philosophical testament : 1943-68
Russell, Bertrand, 1872-1970McMaster University ed. - London ; New York : Routledge, 1997.This volume collects together Betrand Russell's philosophical writings during the period from 1947-68. For about half of this period Russell worked steadily at philosophy but after the publication of "My Philosophical Development" in 1959 he retired from academic philosophy for the second time. After that date, only the occasional philosophical piece appeared, as he was preoccupied with political writings. In this volume there are a handful of papers dated later than 1959, and all of these were written by Russell himself. This volume contains Russell's writings on diverse philosophical interests, including autobiographical and self-critical papers, critiques of other philosophers and his controversial opinions on Christianity.

Uncertain paths to freedom : Russia and China, 1919-22
Russell, Bertrand, 1872-1970McMaster University ed. - London ; New York : Routledge, 2000.This volume collects together the writings of Bertrand Russell during the period from 1919 to 1922. Having emerged from the Great War determined to prevent another armed conflict, Russell became a champion of international socialism as the antidote to the destructive forces of nationalism and capitalism. His quest for international reconstruction led to two enduring experiences, his trip first to Bolshevik Russia in 1920 and then to divided China in 1920-21. These letters describe those experiences which confirmed his emergence as a popular commentator on contemporary political issues.
