This book is a compilation of the author's most important papers about the contributions of Bertrand Russell, Kurt G del, and Alfred Tarski to the philosophy of logic and mathematics. It also includes a personal reflection of the author's approach to his field of research. The papers in this book have been assembled to convey key elements of the author's research on the published and unpublished materials of the three greatest logicians of the twentieth century. Francisco Rodr guez-Consuegra is well known in the field of the History and Philosophy of Logic and Mathematics, mostly due to his former books: The Mathematical Philosophy of Bertrand Russell (Birkh user, 1991) and Kurt G del, Unpublished Philosophical Essays (Birkh user, 1995). Throughout his career, the author visited and worked in depth in the Russell Archives (Hamilton, Canada), the G del Nachlass (Princeton, USA), and the Tarski Papers (Berkeley, USA). This book is of interest to students, professors, and researchers in the history of logic and mathematics, philosophy of logic and mathematics, and general history and philosophy of science.
Between 1853 and 1964, on the western shore of what is now the city of Hayward, there existed a small rural community. This pictorial history traces the role that this region, which became known as Russell City, played in the development of the East Bay. Named for Joel Russell, a New England teacher who came to California during the Gold Rush and found success as a judge, political activist, and businessman, Russell City later became a destination point for diverse migrant and immigrant groups including Spaniards, Danes, Germans, Italians, African Americans, and Mexicans. While the economic means of the residents were never great, social riches abounded in the cultural and religious traditions that were practiced. A plan to create an industrial park on Russell City land emerged during the 1950s, and by 1964 the residents and businesses were entirely removed through eminent domain. An annual reunion picnic, begun in 1978, serves as a reminder of the community once built and then tossed to the winds. In the words of the former residents, The city may be gone, but the memories live on.
Everyone loves family reunions. Well everyone except Russell, whose family of big, brawny, and boisterous wrestlers has him on the run in this vibrant celebration of what it means to be a family. When the Relatives Came meets Wrestlemania in debut author Cindy Chambers Johnson's rollicking picture book about a family reunion with a most colorful cast of characters--from Lorry and Tory (the Twin Tornadoes) to Cousin Cora "The Cleaner" to Uncle "el monstruo" Marcoy. Family reunions mean lots of hugging, handshaking, and hair tousling. And Russell's relatives? Well, they are more...enthusiastic than most. BIGGER than most. BRAWNIER than most. They're wrestlers Skinny and scrawny Russell will have to meet, greet, and defeat this clan with some spectacular moves of his own
Russell Kirk, author of The Conservative Mind and A Program for Conservatives, has been regarded as one of the foremost figures of the post–World War II revival in conservative thought. While numerous commentators on contemporary political thought have acknowledged his considerable influence on the substance and direction of American conservatism, no analysis of his social and political writing has dealt extensively with the philosophical foundations of his work. In this provocative study, W. Wesley McDonald examines those foundations and demonstrates their impact on the conservative intellectual movement that emerged in the 1950s and 1960s. Kirk played a pivotal role in drawing conservatism away from the laissez-faireprinciplesoflibertarianism and toward those of a traditional community grounded in a renewed appreciation of man\u2019s social and spiritual nature and the moral prerequisites of genuine liberty. In a humane social order, a community of spirit is fostered in which generations are bound together. According to Kirk, this link is achieved through moral and social norms that transcend the particularities of time and place and, because they form the basis of genuine civilized existence, can only be neglected at great peril. These norms, reflected in religious dogmas, traditions, humane letters, social habit and custom, and prescriptive institutions, create the sources of the true community that is the final end of politics. Although this study does not challenge Kirk\u2019s debts to a predominantly Catholic and Anglo-Catholic tradition of natural law, its focus is on his appeal to historical experience as the test of sound institutions. This aspect of his thought was essential to Kirk\u2019s understanding of moral, cultural, and aesthetic norms and can be seen in his responses to American humanists Paul Elmer More and Irving Babbitt and to English and American romantic literature. Russell Kirk and the Age of Ideology is particularly relevant because of the growing interest in Kirk\u2019s legacy and the current debate over the meaning of conservatism. McDonald addresses both of those developments in the context of examining Kirk\u2019s thought, attempting to correct some of the inadequacies contained in earlier studies that assess Kirk as a political thinker. This book will serve as a significant contribution to the commentary on this fascinating figure.
