Bertrand Russell

I chose two chapters from Bertrand Russell's History of Western Philosophy. One is on Cynicism and Skepticism, and the other is on Epicureanism. These words get used a lot -- often in response to the ills of the modern/working world -- and I thought it would be interesting to learn their true philosophical origins. We also get to read Bertrand Russell and connect our times to ancient times in the process.
