No , I didnt meant that critisizing Russell is a blasphemy. I think that he
would be the first who would be disgisued by this idea. I was speaking about
his complete intelectual-activist engagement, in matter of Vietnam and
Israel a fortiori.
So there is no "worshiping". There isnt more dangerous thing for critical
mind than worshiping. That's why I have stressed "ethical blasphemy". While
I have not enough knowledge to appreciate the depth and value of Principia
Mathematica, story about Apostoles is torn out of context; he was very
young, and this was intelectual climate on Universities in post Victorian
period; it would be like critisizing Chomsky for graduating on
Harvard........
