The Value of Philosophy
"The Value of Philosophy" is one of the most important chapters of Bertrand's Russell's magnum Opus, The Problems of Philosophy. As a whole, Russell focuses 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 simply because of sense data.
In Praise of Idleness and Other Essays
Intolerance and bigotry lie at the heart of all human suffering. So claims Bertrand Russell at the outset of "In Praise of Idleness," a collection of essays in which he espouses the virtues of cool reflection and free enquiry; a voice of calm in a world of maddening unreason. With characteristic clarity and humour, Russell surveys the social and political consequences of his beliefs. From a devastating critique of the ancestry of fascism to a vehement defense of 'useless' knowledge, with consideration given to everything from insect pests to the human soul, " In Praise of Idleness " is a tour de force that only Bertrand Russell could perform.
Colloidal Dispersions
This book covers the physical side of colloidal science from the individual forces acting between particles smaller than a micrometer that are suspended in a liquid, through the resulting equilibrium and dynamic properties. A variety of internal forces both attractive and repulsive act in conjunction with Brownian motion and the balance between them all decides the phase behaviour. On top of this various external fields, such as gravity or electromagnetic fields, diffusion and non-Newtonian rheology produce complex effects, each of which is of important scientific and technological interest. The authors aim to impart a sound, quantitative understanding based on fundamental theory and experim...
The Impact of Science on Society
"In this concices and luminous book ... [Russell] examines the changes in modern life brought about by science. he suggests that its work in transforming society is only just beginning"--from inside upper cover.
Principia Mathematica
The Principia Mathematica has long been recognised as one of the intellectual landmarks of the century.
The Problems of Philosophy
This classic work, first published in 1912, has never been supplanted as an approachable introduction to the theory of philosophical enquiry. It gives Russell's views on such subjects as the distinction between appearance and reality, the existence and nature of matter, idealism, knowledge by acquaintance and by description, induction, truth and falsehood, the distinction between knowledge, error and probable opinion, and the limits and value of philosophical knowledge.
Russell the Brussel
Russell the Brussel is quite an extraordinary sprout, perhaps the most adventurous sprout that ever lived. All the other sprouts in the patch lived a simple existence, never allowing their minds to wander past the confines of the garden fence. Russell, however, with his natural curiosity and sense of style, was destined for far more. One sunny day, without so much as a word of warning, he embarked on a courageous journey of discovery, bravely leaving the sprout patch to travel the globe in search of new places and fabulous clothes. In this first adventure, Russell journeys to Paris in search for the perfect pair of shoes. Relax, kick back, and immerse yourself and your loved ones in the unique adventure of this sprout with attitude.
The Practice and Theory of Bolshevism
"The Practice and Theory of Bolshevism" is a critical work on socialism by the British social critic Bertrand Russell. He wrote this book shortly after visiting the Soviet Union following the Russian Revolution. As a socialist, he would find and describe the positive sides of the new socialist order. In reality, he didn't like what he saw. Instead of a new kind of democracy, one not corrupted by the power the capitalists had over democracy in the West, he saw a new kind of dictatorship. The new order combined aspects of the French Revolution with the Islamic religion during the life of Muhammad. Although Bolsheviks claimed they had established the dictatorship of the proletariat, Russel saw it as a dictatorship of Vladimir Lenin, who had never been a plant worker.
Why Men Fight (Serapis Classics)
Written in response to the devastation of World War I, "Why Men Fight" lays out Bertrand Russell's ideas on war, pacifism, reason, impulse, and personal liberty. Russell argues that when individuals live passionately, they will have no desire for war or killing. Conversely, excessive restraint or reason causes us to live unnaturally and with hostility toward those who are unlike ourselves.
An Essay on The foundations of geometry
Explore the intricate relationship between mathematics and philosophy in An Essay on the Foundations of Geometry by Bertrand Russell. In this groundbreaking work, Russell delves into the principles that underlie the very nature of geometric thought, questioning the assumptions that have shaped mathematical understanding for centuries. As Russell navigates the complexities of geometry, you’ll encounter a thoughtful examination of the axioms and propositions that define the discipline. His clear, logical reasoning invites readers to reconsider the foundations upon which mathematical concepts are built.But here’s a compelling question to ponder: What if our understanding of geometry is mere...
