HOME PREV NEXT      Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus Introduction Introduction By Bertrand Russell Mr Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus , whether or not it prove to give the ultimate truth on the matters with which it deals, certainly deserves, by its breadth and scope and profundity, to be considered an important event in the philosophical world. Starting from the principles of Symbolism and the relations which are necessary between words and things in any language, it applies the result of this inquiry to various departments of traditional philosophy, showing in each case how traditional philosophy and traditional solutions arise out of ignorance of the principles of Symbolism and out of misuse of language. The logical structure of propositions and the nature of logical inference are first dealt with. Thence we pass successively to Theory of Knowledge, Principles of Physics, Ethics, and finally to the Mystical ( das Mystische In order to understand Mr Wittgenstein's book, it is necessary to realize what is the problem with which he is concerned. In the part of his theory which deals with Symbolism he is concerned with the conditions which would have to be fulfilled by a logically perfect language. There are various problems as regards language. First, there is the problem what actually occurs in our minds when we use language with the intention of meaning something by it; this problem belongs to psychology. Secondly, there is the problem as to what is the relation subsisting between thoughts, words, or sentences, and that which they refer to or mean; this problem belongs to epistemology. Thirdly, there is the problem of using sentences so as to convey truth rather that falsehood; this belongs to the special sciences dealing with the subject-matter of the sentences in question. Fourthly, there is the question: what relation must one fact (such as a sentence) have to another in order to be

Present Past Subjects Projects ... Misc ENTROPY AND HEAT DEATH Bertrand Russell's acceptance of the heat death (1903) "That man is the product of causes that had no prevision of the end they were achieving; that his origin, his growth, his hopes and fears, his loves and his beliefs, are but the outcome of accidental collocations of atoms; that no fire, no heroism, no intensity of thought and feeling, can preserve individual life beyond the grave; that all the labors of the ages, all the devotion, all the inspiration, all the noonday brightness of human genius, are destined to extinction in the vast death of the solar system, and that the whole temple of Man's achievement must inevitably be buried beneath the debris of a universe in ruins- all these things, if not quite beyond dispute, are yet so nearly certain that no philosophy which rejects them can hope to stand. "Only within the scaffolding of these truths, only on the firm foundation of unyielding dispair, can the soul's habitation henceforth be safely built." Charles Darwin considering the heat death (1876) "[consider] ... the view now held by most physicists, namely that the sun with all the planets will in time grow too cold for life, unless indeed some great body dashes into the sun and thus gives it fresh lifebelieving as I do that man in the distant future will be a far more perfect creature than he now is, it is an intolerable thought that he and all the other sentient beings are doomed to complete annihilation after such long-continued slow progress."

65. Sixteen Questions On The Warren Report By bertrand russell The Minority of One, 6 September 1964, pp. 68. The official version of the assassination of President Kennedy has been so riddled with http://karws.gso.uri.edu/JFK/the_critics/russell/Sixteen_questions_Russell.html

16 Questions on the Assassination By Bertrand Russell The Minority of One , 6 September 1964, pp. 6 The official version of the assassination of President Kennedy has been so riddled with contradictions that it is been abandoned and rewritten no less than three times. Blatant fabrications have received very widespread coverage by the mass media, but denials of these same lies have gone unpublished. Photographs, evidence and affidavits have been doctored out of recognition. Some of the most important aspects of the case against Lee Harvey Oswald have been completely blacked out. Meanwhile, the F.B.I., the police and the Secret Service have tried to silence key witnesses or instruct them what evidence to give. Others involved have disappeared or died in extraordinary circumstances. It is facts such as these that demand attention, and which the Warren Commission should have regarded as vital. Although I am writing before the publication of the Warren Commission’s report, leaks to the press have made much of its contents predictable. Because of the high office of its members and the fact of its establishment by President Johnson, the Commission has been widely regarded as a body of holy men appointed to pronounce the truth. An impartial examination of the composition and conduct of the Commission suggests quite otherwise. Why were all the members of the Warren Commission closely connected with the U.S. Government?

66. Bertrand Arthur William Russell Brief description of bertrand russell s life with photographs. It also contains quotations and writings by bertrand russell. http://www.personal.kent.edu/~rmuhamma/Philosophy/bertrandRussell.html

Born: May 18, 1872 in Ravenscroft, Trelleck, Monmouthshire, Wales Died: Feb 2, 1970 in Penrhyndeudraeth, Merioneth, Wales. Bertrand Russell, British philosopher, logician, essayist, and social critic, best known for his work in mathematical logic and analytic philosophy, is the twentieth century’s most important thinker. Many consider him to be the greatest philosopher of the twentieth century. He was born into an aristocratic family in 1872 at the zenith of Britain’s economic and political dominance, and died in 1970 when Britain’s power had been obscured in fairy tales subsequent to world wars. John Stuart Mill was his godfather. He was one of the world’s most influential critics of nuclear weapons and the American war in Vietnam. His parents died when he was three years old. Russell's father had arranged custody of his two sons to two atheists but after his death in 1876 Russell’s grandfather who had served twice as Prime Minister under Queen Victoria had no difficulty in getting Russell's father's will overturned. After the death of his grandfather in 1878, Russell was brought up by his grandmother, Lady Russell. Russell was at first educated privately at home and later went to Trinity College, Cambridge, where he was a brilliant student of mathematics and philosophy. Russell obtained degrees both in mathematics and in the moral science.

Biography Base Home Link To Us Search Biographies: Browse Biographies A B C D ... Z Bertrand Russell Biography Bertrand Arthur William Russell , 3rd Earl Russell (May 18, 1872 - February 2, 1970) was one of the most influential mathematicians, philosophers and logicians working (mostly) in the 20th century, an important political liberal, activist and a populariser of philosophy. Millions looked up to Russell as a sort of prophet of the creative and rational life; at the same time, his stance on many topics was extremely controversial. He was born in 1872, at the height of Britain's economic and political ascendancy, and died of influenza in 1970, when Britain's empire had all but vanished and her power had been drained in two victorious but debilitating world wars. At his death, however, his voice still carried moral authority, for he was one of the world's most influential critics of nuclear weapons and the American war in Vietnam. In 1950, Russell was made Nobel Laureate in Literature "in recognition of his varied and significant writings in which he champions humanitarian ideals and freedom of thought". Russell's philosophical and logical work Logic In mathematical logic, Russell established Russell's paradox, which exposed an inconsistency in naïve set theory and led directly to the creation of modern axiomatic set theory. It also crippled Gottlob Frege's project of reducing mathematics to logic. Nonetheless, Russell defended logicism (the view that mathematics is in some important sense reducible to logic) and attempted this project himself, along with Alfred North Whitehead, in the Principia Mathematica, a clean axiomatic system on which all of mathematics can be built, but which was never fully completed. Although it did not fall prey to the paradoxes in Frege's approach, it was later proven by Kurt Gödel that—for exactly that reason—neither Principia Mathematica nor any other consistent logical system could prove all mathematical truths, and hence Russell's project was necessarily incomplete.

72. Dictionary Of Philosophy Of Mind - Neutral Monism Slater, John assisted by Kollner, Peter (1997). The Collected Papers of bertrand russell Volume 10 A Fresh Look at Empiricism, 19271946. Routledge. http://philosophy.uwaterloo.ca/MindDict/neutralmonism.html

neutral monism The doctrine that reality, though unified, is neither mental nor physical but rather conglomerations of a neutral entity. See monism materialism idealism dualism The following is a classic argument for neutral monism taken from Bertrand Russell What Is the Soul? One of the most painful circumstances of recent advances in science is that each one makes us know less than we thought we did. When I was young we all knew, or thought we knew, that a man consists of a soul and a body; that the body is in time and space, but the soul is in time only. Whether the soul survives death was a matter as to which opinions might differ, but that there is a soul was thought to be indubitable. As for the body, the plain man of course considered its existence self-evident, and so did the man of science, but the philosopher was apt to analyze it away after one fashion or another, reducing it usually to ideas in the mind of the man who had the body and anybody else who happened to notice him. The philosopher, however, was not taken seriously, and science remained comfortably materialistic, even in the hands of quite orthodox scientists. Nevertheless modern science gives no indication whatever of the existence of the soul or mind as an entity; indeed the reasons for disbelieving in it are very much of the same kind as the reasons for disbelieving in matter. Mind and matter were something like the lion and the unicorn fighting for the crown; the end of the battle is not the victory of one or the other, but the discovery that both are only heraldic inventions. The world consists of events, not of things that endure for a long time and have changing properties. Events can be collected into groups by their causal relations. If the causal relations are of one sort, the resulting group of events may be called a physical object, and if the causal relations are of another sort, the resulting group may be called a mind. Any event that occurs inside a man's head will belong to groups of both kinds;

73. Biography Bertrand Russell : Mathematician And Philosopher, Founder Of The Moder Mathematician and philosopher born in the United Kingdom (Wales), small son of the Prime Minister John russell, bertrand russell is regarded as the founder http://atheisme.free.fr/Biographies/Russell_e.htm

Welcome Atheism Biographies > Bertrand Russell Bertrand Russell Biography of Bertrand Russell : Mathematician and philosopher born in the United Kingdom (Wales), small son of the Prime Minister John Russell, Bertrand Russell is regarded as the founder of the modern logic. After the very early death of his parents, he rejects religion and finds in mathematics the means to satisfy his needs for certainty. Gifted for multiple talents, but first of all logician, Bertrand Russell conceives with Alfred North Whitehead a mathematical system of logic based on an abstract analysis of thought (Principia mathematica, 1913). His fights for pacifism and conscientious objection constrain him to leave his position of teacher in Trinity College and lead him in prison on several occasions. Then Bertrand Russell devotes himself to the philosophy of knowledge, while being influenced by David Hume and George Edward Moore. He builds his own "logic atomism" that is a method of analysis for the complex proposals by reducing them to a system (atomist) of elementary proposals. Bertrand Russell tries without success to found a school in Beacon Hill according to his convictions on education. After this failure, he earns his living as writer, journalist and lecturer. Between 1938 and 1944, he teaches in the United States before being laid under an interdict of teaching because of his positions against religion, for the defense of sexual freedom and because of his nonconformism.

76. What Is An Agnostic? bertrand russell on Agnosticism. http://arts.cuhk.edu.hk/humftp/E-text/Russell/agnostic.htm

What is an Agnostic? Bertrand Russell What Is an agnostic? An agnostic thinks it impossible to know the truth in matters such as God and the future life with which Christianity and other religions are concerned. Or, if not impossible, at least impossible at the present time. Are agnostics atheists? No. An atheist, like a Christian, holds that we can know whether or not there is a God. The Christian holds that we can know there is a God; the atheist, that we can know there is not. The Agnostic suspends judgment, saying that there are not sufficient grounds either for affirmation or for denial. At the same time, an Agnostic may hold that the existence of God, though not impossible, is very improbable; he may even hold it so improbable that it is not worth considering in practice. In that case, he is not far removed from atheism. His attitude may be that which a careful philosopher would have towards the gods of ancient Greece. If I were asked to prove that Zeus and Poseidon and Hera and the rest of the Olympians do not exist, I should be at a loss to find conclusive arguments. An Agnostic may think the Christian God as improbable as the Olympians; in that case, he is, for practical purposes, at one with the atheists. Since you deny `God's Law', what authority do you accept as a guide to conduct?
