This volume is one of the most significant documents on the thought of the giant of the twentieth-century philosophy. Russell's 'Reply to Criticisms,' supplemented by a 1971 'Addendum,' displays his unrivalled clarity, perceptiveness, and scalpel-like wit, on topics ranging from mathematical logic to political philosophy, from epistemology to philosophy of history.
"I think all the great religions of the world - Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity, Islam, and Communism - both untrue and harmful. It is evident as a matter of logic that, since they disagree, not more than one of them can be true." Bertrand Russell wrote these words in his famous essay, "Why I Am Not A Christian." In Bertrand Russell on God and Religion, Al Seckel presents in one volume the severe scrutiny Russell brought to bear on organized religion in his best essays. Bertrand Russell on God and Religion is an exhaustive compilation of Russell's best essays on religion, freethought, and rationalism. Al Seckel has rescued many of the writings from obscure pamphlets, chapters buried in books, and from out-of-print periodicals. From the outset of his career, Russell struggled to uproot and expose the remnants of Puritanism's emphasis upon guilt, sin, and moral condemnation. In "Why I Am Not A Christian," he wrote, "Religion is based . . . primarily and mainly upon fear . . . fear of the mysterious, fear of defeat, fear of death. Fear is the parent of cruelty, and therefore, it is no wonder if cruelty and religion have gone hand in hand." It is in this vein that Russell approached religion. The essays in this book are representative of the full range of his thinking on the subject. Some of the essays included are, "My Religious Reminiscences," "A Debate On The Existence of God," "What Is An Agnostic?" and "Are the World's Troubles Due to Decay in Faith?" Bertrand Russell was the recipient of countless awards for excellence during his long lifetime (1872-1970), including the Nobel Prize for literature, which he won in 1950. The range of his critical inquiry is without parallel in contemporary Western culture.
During his long life (1872-1970) Bertrand Russell was one of a handful of social thinkers, let alone internationally recognized philosophers, whose views on contemporary issues won for him a devoted and supportive audience on the one hand and a host of vituperative critics on the other. Russell's revolutionary writings frequently placed him in the center of controversy with conservatives and all those who were unwilling to consider moral questions from a rational rather than an emotional stance. Al Seckel has compiled an exhaustive collection of Russell's very best and most thought-provoking essays on ethics, social morality, happiness, sex, adultery, marriage, and divorce. Often hidden in obscure journals, pamphlets, out-of-print periodicals, and hard-to-find books, the works assembled here comprise a comprehensive volume that is augmented by valuable section introductions and editor's comments. This volume also includes "Morality and Instinct," which is published here for the first time.
First published in 1981. This collection includes a careful selection of some of the wittiest and most pungent of Russell's writings, that are instructive and delightful, both for the philosopher and the layman. The reader will gain an appreciation of the serious thought and keen humour of Russell's writings as well as understand why Russell has been both an influential and controversial figure for more than half a century.
Few philosophers have had a more profound influence on the course of modern philosophy than Bertrand Russell. The Basic Writings of Bertrand Russell is a comprehensive anthology of Russell‘s most definitive essays written between 1903 and 1959. First published in 1961, this remarkable collection is a testament to a philosopher whom many consider to be one of the most influential thinkers of the twentieth century. This is an essential introduction to the brilliance of Bertrand Russell.

Bertrand Russell: The Colours of Pacifism analyzes the tenacious commitment of one of the twentieth century’s most extraordinary intellectuals to the cause of civilization, progress, and human rights. Through his active and pragmatic pacifism, Russell sought to confront the problems stemming from the unstable and dramatic political conditions of his age: the beginning of the Great War, the establishment of the League of Nations, the rise of totalitarian regimes, the outbreak of the Second World War, the dawn of the Atomic Age, the escalation of the Cold War, the weakness of the United Nations, and the need for world government. His reflections on the subject of peace, which constitute the main focus of this book, led him into dialogue with some of the greatest figures of his time, including Romain Rolland, Albert Einstein, Thomas Woodrow Wilson, Leon Trotsky, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Nikita Khrushchev, and John Fitzgerald Kennedy. Shining new light on a lifelong preoccupation in Russell’s work and thinking, this essay is a landmark study that will appeal to students, scholars, and anyone curious about the philosopher’s engagement with the world around him.
Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2004 im Fachbereich Philosophie - Theoretische (Erkenntnis, Wissenschaft, Logik, Sprache), Note: 1,3, Technische Universit t Dresden (Institut f r Philosophie), Veranstaltung: Textproseminar, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Einleitung Bertrand Russell wurde am 18. Mai 1872 in Ravencroft in Wales geboren. Schon 2 Jahre nach seiner Geburt sterben seine Schwester und seine Mutter, wiederum 2 Jahre sp ter stirbt zudem sein Vater. Russell w chst ab diesem Zeitpunkt zusammen mit seinem Bruder bei den Gro eltern auf. Sein Gro vater, Lord John Russell, ehemaliger Premierminister Gro britanniens, stirbt wiederum zwei Jahre sp ter 1878. Im Alter von 6 Jahren hatte der junge Bertrand schon 4 enge Familienmitglieder verloren. Seine wissenschaftliche Karriere beginnt er mit 18 Jahren am Trinity College in Cambridge. Er besch ftigt sich allerdings schon im Alter von 15 Jahren mit der Philosophie, vor allem mit religionsphilosophischen Fragen im Hinblick auf die Existenz Gottes und die des freien Willens, sowie mit Fragen bez glich den Grundlagen der Mathematik. Ab 1890 beginnt er Mathematik und Philosophie am Trinity College zu studieren. W hrend er sich bis 1894 vornehmlich mit Mathematik besch ftigte, wandte er sich ab da mehr und mehr der Philosophie zu. Er wurde zu dieser Zeit ma geblich durch den deutschen Idealismus von Kant und Hegel gepr gt, wendet sich aber 1898 zusammen mit seinem Studienkollegen Moore von diesem ab und dem erkenntnistheoretischen Realismus zu. Die Teilnahme an einem Kongress in Paris im Jahr 1900 markiert einen weiterer Wendepunkt in Russells Leben. Dort lernt er Guiseppe Peano kennen, der f r die formallogische Methode im Rahmen der Philosophie der Mathematik eintritt, und der Russells Interesse f r die formale Logik weckt. In der Folgezeit besch ftigt er sich mit den Grundlagen der Arithmetik und st t so auf Arbeiten von Frege. Bis 1913 ver ffentlicht Russell 3 B nde der "Principia Mathematica," in der er sich mit der Philos
Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) är en av 1900-talets viktigaste och mest berömda filosofer. I detta porträtt av Russells liv och verk, presenterar A C Grayling både Russells tekniska bidrag till förnuft och filosofi och hans vidspännande åsikter om utbildning, politik, krig och sexualmoral. Russell anses vara en tongivande tänkare inom logik, kunskapsteori och religionskritik. Han spelade en viktig roll i den revolutionerande förändring i sociala värderingar som svepte över världen under 1900-talet. Denna bok ger en bred översiktsbild av Russells största insatser inom modernt sekulärt tänkande.
Five Books in One This collection combines five of Bertrand Russell's most recognized works into one convenient volume. Included in this book: - The Problems of Philosophy - The Analysis of Mind - Why Men Fight - Free Thought and Official Propaganda - Political Ideals In The Problems of Philosophy, Bertrand Russell attempts to create a brief and accessible guide to the problems of philosophy. He introduces philosophy as a repeating series of (failed) attempts to answer the same questions: Can we prove that there is an external world? Can we prove cause and effect? Can we validate any of our generalizations? Can we objectively justify morality? He asserts that philosophy cannot answer any of these questions and that any value of philosophy must lie elsewhere than in offering proofs to these questions. 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 simply because of sense data. In The Analysis of Mind, one of his most influential and exciting books, Russell presents an intriguing reconciliation of the materialism of psychology with the antimaterialism of physics. Bertrand Russell unfolds his ideas on consciousness, instinct and habit, desire and feeling, introspection, perception, sensations and images, memory, words and meaning, belief, and characteristics of mental phenomenon. Throughout, he explores the mystery of the mind, and proposes that there exists a fundamental material of which both mind and matter exist. "The stuff of which the world of our experience is composed is, in my belief, neither mind nor matter, but something more primitive than either." Why Men Fight, 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. In this book Russell talks about the reasons for wars. He talks about institutions that shape the life of an individual such as schools, state, marriage, churches, etc. and how they contribute to wars. And he concludes how to change the state of affairs so that wars can be prevented. Free Thought and Official Propaganda is a speech delivered in 1922 by Bertrand Russell on the importance of unrestricted freedom of expression in society, and the problem of the state and political class interfering in this through control of education, fines, economic leverage, and distortion of evidence. Political Ideals was written during the upheaval of World War I. It is, in many ways, a statement of Russell's beliefs, a declaration of the ideas that influenced his thinking on the major events of the 20th century. In this sense, it is essential reading for every student of this great philosopher. Bertrand Arthur William Russell was a British mathematician, philosopher, logician, and public intellectual. He had a considerable influence on mathematics, logic, set theory, linguistics, artificial intelligence, cognitive science, computer science and various areas of analytic philosophy, especially philosophy of mathematics, philosophy of language, epistemology, and metaphysics. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1950 "in recognition of his varied and significant writings in which he champions humanitarian ideals and freedom of thought."
