О ЧЕМ КНИГА:
Сборник интервью и эссе выдающегося мыслителя и общественного деятеля 20 века Бертрана Рассела. Как говорят, «чем старее проблема, тем старее её решение. Эти интервью и эссе написаны в 50-х годах прошлого века и совсем не устарели.
Рассел в своих эссе ищет ответы на большие вопросы и, как очень рациональный и мудрый человек очень логично, объясняет свою точку зрения на темы, которые волнуют каждого из нас:
- Смерть
- Семейная жизнь и брак
- Счастье
- Воспитание детей
- Смысл работы
Мои любимые эссе из книги:
«Может ли человек быть рациональным?»
«Стоицизм и душевное здоровье»
"Наша сексуальная этика"
"Похвала праздности"
"Что такое счастье?"
ГЛАВНАЯ МЫСЛЬ КНИГИ:
Главная цель жизни - это прожить хорошую жизнь. Чтобы жизнь была действительно счастливой и интересной, необходимо для себя лично выработать свою систему координат, на основе которой ты будешь жить и решать повседневные вопросы.
ЗАЧЕМ ЧИТАТЬ ЭТУ КНИГУ?
Чтобы попытаться найти ответы на главные жизненные вопросы.
МЫСЛИ ИЗ КНИГИ:
«Концепция долга, с исторической точки зрения, есть способ убеждения остальных, использовавшийся сильными мира сего, что жить надо для пользы хозяев, а не для собственной.»
«Хотя краткий отдых приятен, люди не нашли бы, чем заполнить дни, если бы работали лишь четыре часа из двадцати четырёх. Поскольку это верно в современном мире, то это укор нашей цивилизации.»
«Сегодняшний человек думает, что всё должно быть сделано ради чего-то ещё, и никогда не просто так.»
«Я думаю, у счастья есть четыре самые важные составляющие. Возможно, первая из них — здоровье, вторая — достаточные средства, чтобы уберечь вас от нужды, третья — счастливые личные связи и четвертая — успешная работа.»
«Всё, в чем вы хорошо разбираетесь, способствует счастью.»
«Спокойное размышление над ужасающим – единственно возможное отношение к любому неприятному чувству"
«В любом возрасте человек должен чувствовать, что есть важные вещи, ради которых он живет, и что его смерть, или смерть его жены или ребенка не положит конец всему, что его интересует в этом мире.»
«В упорядоченном обществе человек очень редко бывает заинтересован делать что-либо слишком вредное для других. Чем менее рационален человек, тем чаще он не понимает, насколько то, что оскорбляет других, оскорбляет и его, потому что ненависть и зависть ослепляют его.»
«Человек рационален в той пропорции, в какой его интеллект формирует и контролирует его желания."
"Образование, пресса, политика, религия – словом, все великие силы мира – сегодня на стороне иррациональности; они в руках людей, которые льстят Его Величеству Народу, чтобы сбить его с толку.»
ЧТО Я БУДУ ПРИМЕНЯТЬ:
Эта книга из моей подборки "вечных книг". Думаю, что перечитаю её не один раз.

January 14, 2016
A collection of three short essays by Russell in which he mainly discuss and outline the main aspects the exact sciences, Logic and his analytic conception of philosophy..
(Read it in French, translated by Michel Parmentier).
The first essay is an intro to his theory on philosophy as the "art of Rational conjecture" ..
Grosso modo the RC as a methodology relies on main concepts such as Reasoning, Plausibility and Rationality, in the process of formulation of a hypothesis or general laws (that could be as certain and true as possible).. The RC constitutes a method by which we acquire the knowledge of the external world; ect..
In the second essay, Russell reflects on how to conciliate scientific conceptions with common sense.
Russell enumerates and analyses the differences between deductive reasoning and inductive reasoning (after a brief intro to Aristotle's Syllogism, where he re-asserts that the Aristotelian logic is a useless method that hinders our comprehension and apprehension of Logic. He recommends to study symbolic logic and mathematics instead). He then proceeds to demonstrate how insightful and beneficial deductive reasoning (or deductive inference) is, if based on true premises, when applied to different systems, such as Mathematics, in comparison to the uncertain 'outcomes' of the inductive reasoning (when trying to establish pertinent analogies between different situations). The inductive principle is, according to Russell, equally incapable of being proved or disproved by an appeal to experience.
The last essay explores "the art of reckoning" in the field of mathematics and examines the complex relation between the exactitude and precision of Mathematics and the irregular and indefinite concrete reality .. I hate mathematics, that's why I personally found it less interesting than the other two.
I recommend the book as an excellent introduction to Russell's brilliant philosophy.
I mostly liked the simplicity of his analysis of philosophy and his ability to skillfully probe its depth.

I picked this up because I was struck by quote from one of these essays and wanted to read more. The quote was not an exception. The clarity and quality of Russell's writing is powerful and a wonderful change from so much of what I read. The essays vary from an essay on how to reckon that turns into an assault on religious belief to ones concerned with mathematics and logic.
I preferred Russell's writing on logic. His writing on religion may have been shocking or scandalous at the time but now nearly perfectly encapsulates the attitudes of so many people in the US and Europe even if that has more to do with convenience than a deep commitment to empiricism. Russell promised a rejection of anything not established through the scientific method would usher in a new period of peace and enlightenment. His argument hasn’t aged well; less religion doesn't seem have made us any more rational or sectarian. Nor is it easy to see how he squares that with his assertion that the purpose of life is kindness, the creation of beauty and pursuit of knowledge. Wouldn’t logic lead to reproduction? Still, the book left me interested in attempting his treatise on mathematical logic and great respect for his abilities as a stylist.

A great introduction to thinking and logic. Russell’s writing is clear, approachable and enjoyable. He has a modernist perspective on religion and Christianity which lacks nuance, but it doesn’t get in the way of his main message. It’s short and worth the read.

A simple yet thoughtful insight on the mathematical aspect of philosophy.
The book has three essays the first one contains the least amount of math but introduces us to the author's clever thought experiments. Sometimes the mathematical explanations took a little too long in my opinion but they were not hard and anyone with a basic background in algebra should be able to follow.
I found that some parts are quite dated yet the most important points are still applicable, especially Russel's ideas on logic. For me, this was an introduction to the kind of logic Russel describes and uses in his thought experiments and I found them very interesting.
To sum my opinion on the book, I think it is a great introductory book on philosophy with an unexpected turn to mathematics. It doesn't fall into any school of thought, e.g. Nihilism, Existentialism, but it does have enough ideas to ponder upon.
I'd give it a 3.5 stars if possible but I think 4 would be too much. I recommend it to anyone interested in philosophy who ALSO enjoys math.

A mixed bag, and probably more on the 3- side, since I only liked one out of three essays. Three essays:
Art of Rational Conjecture was an interesting, well-written essay about philosophy and why we should be philosophic, if you can ignore his anti-Catholic diatribes.
Art of Drawing Inferences was a not very clearly expressed discussion of deductive an dinductive reasoning.
Art of Reckoning was a description of math and why it is a superior way of thinking.

SEVERAL ESSAYS WRITTEN BY RUSSELL IN THE 1940s
Bertrand Arthur William Russell (1872-1970) was an influential British philosopher, logician, mathematician, and political activist. In 1950, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, in recognition of his many books.
The Publisher’s Preface states, “The essays in this little volume, published here for the first time in book form, were written by Bertrand Russell during the second World War. In those years the author was teaching philosophy at American universities, exercising a growing influence on America’s student population. The essays assembled here are fundamentally concerned with the ‘art of reckoning’ in the fields of mathematics, logic and philosophy.”
He says in the first essay, “The would-be philosopher will ask himself what kinds of knowledge seem least open to question, and why. He may… reasonably assume that the most certain kinds of knowledge are those about which there is least dispute. He will soon find that these are not the kinds of knowledge, or supposed knowledge, that are asserted with the most vehemence. Everyone is agreed about the multiplication table, but no one goes about proclaiming it as Sacred Truth. If anyone were to deny its truth, he would not be burned at the stake or imprisoned as a fifth columnist. A sensible man, if he fell among mathematical heretics, and were asked to recant his belief in the multiplication table, would do so, conscious that his recantation could do the multiplication table no harm. These are the characteristics of a belief about which there is no reasonable doubt.” (Pg. 6-7)
He continues, “The Jesuit Acosta, who lived in South America, was puzzled by the animals only to be found there, though all must have come from Mount Ararat. This was especially puzzling in the case of the sloth, which is so dilatory in its motions that it could hardly have reached South America in the time since the flood. Sailors might, of course, have brought the various queer beasts from the old world, but the worthy Father thinks this unlikely, especially in the case of the filthy Acacias, of which the smell is unendurable.” (Pg. 16)
He suggests, “In the early stages, all teaching of mathematics should start from practical problems… When I was young… the problems were such as no one could possibly WISH to solve. For instance: A, B, and C are travelling from X to Y. A on foot, B on a horse, and C on a bicycle. A is always going to sleep at odd moments, B’s horse goes lame, and C has a puncture… Even the most ardent pupil is put off by this sort of thing.” (Pg. 79)
In the final essay, he says, “It this appears that we do not really know what we mean by ordinary every-day words such as ‘cat’ and ‘dog’…. Two dogs and two dogs are certainly four dogs, but cases may arise in which you are doubtful whether two of them are dogs. ‘Well, at any rate there are four animals,’ you may say. But there are microorganisms concerning which it is doubtful whether they are animals or plants… there are things of which it is doubtful whether they are living organisms or not. ‘Two entities and two entities are four entities.’ When you have told me what you mean by ‘entity,’ we will resume the argument.” (Pg. 113-114)
These essays contain Russell’s characteristic wit and intellectual acumen.

A very interesting book; Russell's views on religion are clearly visible here and I think this runs counter to what he writes about objectivity in the beginning of the first essay, he's being too categorical -- plus I think there's no real reason for comparing a religious/ mythological worldview with a scientific worldview (okay, this may sound kinda odd). But overall, I love this book for being structured, it's kind of like a textbook for philosophers which is really useful to me for example cause I want to major in philosophy. It shows you exactly what to do to become a philosopher, I don't think there are a lot of books on this subject, most books are focused on the history of philosophy and theories, something you can study at school or in college (and something Russell doesn't even seem to recommended, as far as I can tell; he seems to be more of a mathematician and physicist than a *philosopher*). I've fallen in love with the part about logic; I think it might even make me want to get a degree in logic. And I also love what Russell has to say about ideas and their names in the third part, I've been interested in philosophy of language for quite a while. So this is a great book for anyone who wants a challenge and a basic understanding of logic, mathematics and how they relate to each other.

Üç kısa denemenin yer aldığı ince bir kitap. Felsefenin tanımının yapıldığı ilk deneme oldukça keyifli, “insanların düşünceleri çoğunlukla kendilerini huzurlu kılacak tarzda kurulmuştur. Çoğu insan için doğruluk ikincil bir öneme sahiptir.” Karşı çıkabilir misiniz bu düşünceye, bence hayır. İkinci deneme mantığın ve üçüncü deneme matematiğin tanımını yapıyor. “... karmaşık yapısı bunu gizlemesine rağmen matematiksel bilgi aslında sözel bir bilgidir. “ diyor Russell. “.... matematik doğru biçimde düşünülseydi ondan nefret eden insanların sayısı şu an olduğundan çok daha az olurdu. “ Felsefeye ilgi duyuyorsanız oldukça keyifli bir eser, aksi halde biraz yorucu olabilir.

Secara garis besar buku ini berisi 3 tema esai yaitu; seni pemikiran rasional, penarikan kesimpulan dan berhitung. Menurut saya ini merupakan konsep dasar atau fundamental filsafat yang di kolaboasikan antara logic dan matematika dalam penarikan suatu kesimpulan. Menarik, banyak sudut pandang yang bikin kejutan-kejutan pikiran, serta analoginya yang sederhana (begitu dia menyebutnya) yang bagi saya tetap perlu mengulang kalimatnya untuk memikirkan maksudnya, hehehe..
anw, keren..sedikit banyak sudah berusaha mengenal salah seorang filsuf besar modern yang produktif dengan banyak karyanya.

These two nuggets:
1. "Blocs of opinions, such as Catholicism, Communism or Nazism, tend to be persecuting, and are practically certain to be at least partially false" (p .9).
2. "From the very knowledge of our unimportance it is possible to derive a certain kind of peace, which may make it less difficult to bear good fortune without vain glory and evil fortune without despair" (p 36).

Felsefenin, mantığın ve matematiğin kendince tanımını yapan Russell'ın cümleleri Halil Kayıkçı'nın çevirisiyle felsefecinin doruk noktasına bir okuyucu olarak ulaşmanızı sağlıyor.
Kitabı özellikle kitabın sonlarına doğru paylaştığı Platon'un cennet tanımıyla, felsefe kitaplarının aksine, gülümseyerek bitiriyorsunuz.

Bertrand Russell has an interesting way of taking a complex subject and explaining in such simple terms that it clears many misunderstandings, that are created by modern writes trying to explain the same material.

ini buku pengantar ke metode berpikir filsafat paling baik yg pernah kutemui. Russell emang punya kemampuan luar biasa dalam mempresentasikan persoalan2 sulit filsafat menjadi sederhana dan inspiratif.
terbagi menjadi 3 bab. bab 1 seni perkiraan rasional, yg merupakan definisi filsafat itu sendiri menurutnya. bab 2 seni menarik kesimpulan, tentang logika, dan bab 3 seni berhitung, ttg matematika, keduanya sbg pintu masuk memahami pemikiran2 filsafat.
menurut russell, logika dan matematika penting utk dikuasai seorang filsuf tapi bukan segalanya, keduanya ibarat huruf2 dalam buku alam dan bukan buku itu sendiri. sedang filsafat itu sendiri diibaratkan dengan pulau tak berpenghuni di antara pulau sains dan agama yg cenderun menyerang keduanya...

Сборник эссе на различные темы от лауреата Нобелевской премии, философа, лорда и одного из самых влиятельных мыслителей XX века. Тяжелая поступь рационализма и здравого смысла. Эссе про вычисления можно пропустить, остальное обязательно к изучению. Особенно понравилось про философию, счастье и национализм. Судя по англоязычным отзывам, в русском издании другой набор эссе.

Second reading
This should be re-read every few years. Russell has the ability to make you think like few others.
