Mysticism and Logic and Other Essays by Bertrand Russell (PDF)

Description

2014 Reprint of 1918 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. The title-essay of this collection suggests Russell’s lifelong preoccupation; the disentanglement, with ever-increasing precision, of what is subjective or intellectually cloudy from what is objective or capable of logical demonstration. The first five essays he calls “entirely popular”: they include two on the revolutionary changes in mathematics in the previous hundred years, and the one on the value of science in human culture. The last five, ‘somewhat more technical,’ are concerned with particular problems of philosophy: the ultimate nature of matter, the connection between sense data and physics, the problem of causality an different ways of knowing. In these one can see the Russell method in operation, intellectual analysis dissecting the problem to its bare bone. Essays Include: Mysticism and logic.– The place of science in liberal education.–A free man’s worship.–The study of mathematics.–mathematics and the metaphysicians.–The ultimate constituents of matter.–The relation of sense-data to physics.–On the notion of cause.–Knowledge by acquintance and knowledge by description

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐I have not read all of the essays in this book yet, but the lead essay “Mysticism and Logic” has pages missing. There is a gap of probably two pages between the bottom of the first page in print, and the next page in print, which is numbered “4.” Then pages 6 and 7 are missing. The rest of this essay appears to be present.This book is printed from a scan of the copy in the Cornell University Library. I found an online copy of this book on Internet Archive, and it is missing the same pages in this essay. So the problem may be in the scan of the original in the Cornell library. Internet Archive has two other scans from different sources that appear to be complete.

⭐Russell was an amazingly lucid writer. This e-book contains some of his most interesting essays on the contrast between the moral and spiritual experience of human beings and the scientific approach to knowledge. Fascinating insights into the mind of one of the world’s greatest mathematical logicians.
