"The RIP aims to promote the study and discussion of philosophy and
original work in it through its Journal PHILOSOPHY and by arranging
and sponsoring programmes of lectures and conferences....
"While waiting to go into prison for sponsoring an anti-war pamphlet
in 1916, Bertrand Russell gave his 'Lectures on Logical Atomism' at
the Dr Williams' Library, 14 Gordon Square, in the hall where the
Institute's annual lecture series are now held. He finished them just
before he was incarcerated, during which time the Home Secretary,
Lord
Balfour, gave the extraordinary instruction that the prisoner should
be allowed writing materials in this cell, in which he produced his
'Introduction to Mathematical Philosophy'. Russell, together with
Balfour, L T Hobhouse, Samuel Alexander, Harold Laski, and the
Institute's Journal's first editor, Sydney Hooper, founded the
Institute - then the British Institute of Philosophical Studies - in
1925, initially meeting in King's Way, WC2, but moving in 1930 to the
Dr Williams' Library, with which it has been happily and grateful ly
associated ever since...."
Hope to see you there.
Yours,
WM
