Excerpt from Our Knowledge of the External World as a Field for Scientific Method in PhilosophySince my purpose was to illustrate method, I have included much that is tentative and incomplete, for it is not by the study of finished structures alone that the manner of construction can' be learnt. Except in regard to such matters as Cantor's theory of infinity, no finality is claimed for the theories suggested but I believe that where they are f...

At an early stage and helping me with many valuable suggestions, also to Mr. A. Wohlgemuth for much very useful information as regards important literature. I have also to acknow ledge the help Oi the editor Of this Library Of Philosophy, Professor Muirhead, for several suggestions by which I have profited. About the Publ...

Excerpt from Justice in War Time The following essays, of which all except the last two have appeared in various magazines, were written at different times during the course of the war, and are not perhaps wholly consistent in their expectations as to the future, or in their view as to the attitude of the ordinary citizen towards war. In such matters, the development of events inevitably somewhat modifies first impressions. The view that the ...

Excerpt from Proposed Roads to Freedom: Socialism, Anarchism and Syndicalism This book is an attempt to compress into a small compass a discussion which would require many vol umes for its adequate treatment. It was completed in April, 1918, in the last days before a period of imprisonment. At that time few would have ven tured to prophesy that the fighting would end before the New Year. The coming of peace has made the problems of reconstruc...

Excerpt from An Essay on the Foundations of Geometry My chief obligation is to Professor Klein. Throughout the first chapter, I have found his Lectures on non-euclidean Geometry an invaluable guide I have accepted from him the division of Metageometry into three periods, and have found my historical work much lightened by his references to previous writers. In Logic, I have learnt most from Mr Bradley, and next to him, from Sigwart and Dr Bos...

The Principles of Mathematics: Vol. 1 is a terrific introduction to the fundamental concepts of mathematics. Although the book's title involves mathematics, it is not a textbook packed with equations and theorems. Instead philosopher Bertrand Russell uses mathematics to explore the structure of logic. Russell's ultimate point is that mathematics is logic and logic itself is truth. The book is substantial and covers all subjects of mathematics....

Excerpt from Principles of Social Reconstruction The following lectures were written in 1915, and delivered in the beginning of 1916. I had hoped to re-write them considerably, and make them somewhat less inadequate to their theme, but other work, which seemed more pressing, intervened, and the prospect of opportunity for leisurely revision remains remote. My aim is to suggest a philosophy of politics based upon the belief that impulse has m...

Since its first publication in 1945? Lord Russell's "A History of Western Philosophy" has been universally acclaimed as the outstanding one-volume work on the subject -- unparalleled in its comprehensiveness, its clarity, its erudition, its grace and wit. In seventy-six chapters he traces philosophy from the rise of Greek civilization to the emergence of logical analysis in the twentieth century. Among the philosophers considered are: Pythagor...

Seminal work focuses on concepts of number, order, relations, limits and continuity, propositional functions, descriptions and classes, more. Clear, accessible excursion into realm where mathematics and philosophy meet.

Completed in April 1918, "in the last days before a period of imprisonment, " 'The Proposed Roads to Freedom' contains Bertrand Russell's astute political commentary on anarchism, socialism, and syndicalism. Russell begins with a historical overview of socialism and anarchism, the teachings and organizations of Marx and Bakunin, and the syndicalist revolt against socialism. He then turns to more pressing problems of the future, and how these m...

One of his great works, and a must-read for any student of philosophy, The Problems of Philosophy was written in 1912 as an introduction to Russell's thought.As an empiricist, Russell starts at the beginning with this question: Is there any knowledge in the world that is so certain that no reasonable man could doubt it? This, according to Russell, is where the work of philosophy begins. He covers topics such as reality, the nature of matter, i...

Perhaps the most profoundly influential thinker of the 20th century, Bertrand Russell's emphasis on science, logic, and humanism shocked readers of his time and continues to lend his work a modern authority. This collection of Russell's outlook on capitalism and socialism, individual liberty, and globalism was first published in 1917, but it is as fresh and relevant today as it was almost a century ago. From his cry against the economic slaver...

Perché gli uomini fanno la guerra" fu scritto da Russell in risposta alla devastazione della Prima guerra mondiale, e da allora resta uno dei libri più profondi e importanti scritti sulle ragioni della guerra, ancora oggi pregnante e attuale. Fino ad oggi introvabile in libreria, "Perché gli uomini fanno la guerra" raccoglie otto saggi brevi in cui Bertrand Russell espone le sue idee su guerra, pacifismo, libertà personale, società e individuo...

All the stars have a go - includes essays by William Morris, Kropotkin, Lewis Mumford, Cliff Harper, Bertrand Russell, Colin Ward etc.

Another collection of essays by a master of the art. These deal primarily with the silliness of conventional wisdom.

The Problems of Philosophy is one of Bertrand Russell's attempts to create a brief and accessible guide to the problems of philosophy. Focusing on problems he believes will provoke positive and constructive discussion, Russell concentrates on knowledge rather than metaphysics.If it is uncertain that external objects exist, how can we then have knowledge of them but by probability. There is no reason to doubt the existence of external objects s...

2013 Reprint of 1912 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. In this little book Russell has provided an intelligible and stimulating guide to a branch of knowledge which is often mistakenly considered too abstruse for the lay mind. He has confined himself chiefly to those problems of philosophy concerning which he thought it possible to say something positive and constructive. For thi...
