Sinopsis
Excerpt from Mysticism and Logic
The essay on Mysticism and Logic appeared in the Hibbert Journal for July, 1914. The Place of Science in a Liberal Education appeared in two numbers of The New Statesman, May 24 and 31, 1913. The Free Man's Worship and The Study of Mathematics were included in a former collection (now out of print), Philosophical Essays, also published by Messrs. Longmans, Green 81 Co. Both were written in 1902; the first appeared originally in the Independent Review for 1903, the second in the New Quarterly, November, 1907. In theoretical Ethics, the position advocated in The Free Man's Worship is not quite identical with that which I hold now: I feel less convinced than I did then of the objectivity of good and evil. But the general attitude towards life which is suggested in that essay still seems to me, in the main, the one which must be adopted in times of stress and difficulty by those who have no dogmatic religious beliefs, if inward defeat is to be avoided.

Reseña del editor
Mysticism and Logic and Other Essays is a collection of essays written and edited by Nobel Prize winning author Bertrand Russell. Russell was a heralded British philosopher, historian and mathematician, as well as a well-published author, and is considered one of the great minds of the 20th century. In this collection, Russell challenges romantic mysticism while promoting a logical and mathematics-based approach to interpreting the world around us.
The collection opens with one of Russell's most well known essays, Mysticism and Logic, in which the author explains his worldview and the need for logic when interpreting life. Nine more essays follow this one, and touch on a range of topics including mathematics, life and death, plurality, the nature of existence, intelligence, and science's role in a liberal education. The first five essays of this collection are "entirely popular" according to Russell, whereas the final four are "somewhat more technical." Despite this disclaimer, the layman will still find these essays readable.
Russell writes with a clarity and voice that is rare amongst philosophers. Indeed, his work is some of the most accessible of the important philosophical musings of recent times. While technical and precise, the author still writes in a popular style that will appeal to all readers. His words are insightful and moving, and will resonate deeply with the contemplative reader.
Mysticism and Logic and Other Essays is one of the great philosophical works of modern times. It is a must read for all those who enjoy philosophy, mysticism, and logic. Russell has achieved a great feat with this book, and it is one that should be read and digested by all. Highly recommended.

Mysticism and Logic: And Other Essays (Classic Reprint)
Impresión bajo demandaLibrería: Forgotten Books, London, Reino Unido
Calificación del vendedor: 5 de 5 estrellas
Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the age-old tension between two powerful human impulses: the drive towards mystical, intuitive understanding and the pursuit of rational, scientific knowledge. Through the lens of historical figures like Heraclitus and Plato, the author explores how these seemingly opposing forces have shaped the evolution of philosophical thought. Readers are invited to contemplate profound questions about the nature of reality, the limitations of human perception, and the existence of a higher truth beyond the grasp of our senses. The author challenges the notion of absolute knowledge derived solely from intuition, advocating instead for a balanced approach that embraces both scientific rigor and the insights of mystical experience. By examining the concepts of unity and plurality, the illusory nature of time, and the subjective experience of good and evil, this book encourages a deeper understanding of ourselves and the universe we inhabit. Ultimately, it argues that the true power of philosophy lies not in imposing our own desires on the world, but in cultivating a spirit of disinterested curiosity and embracing the vastness of the unknown.
