The Art of Philosophizing
The Art of Philosophizing: And Other Essays | Bertrand Russell
2 posts | 1 to read
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 when he was less concerned with the stormy issues of nuclear warfare and the containment of Communist aggression and more with the art of reckoning in the fields of mathematics, logic and philosophy. The simplicity of Russells exposition is astonishing, as is his ability to get to the core of the great philosophical issues and to skillfully probe the depth of philosophical analysis.

“If you wish to become a philosopher, the first thing to realise is that most people go through life with a whole world of beliefs that have no sort of rational justification, and that one man‘s world of beliefs is apt to be incompatible with another man‘s, so that they cannot both be right. People‘s opinions are mainly designed to make them feel comfortable; truth, for most people is a secondary consideration.”

“The only way in which a society can live for any length of time without violent strife is by establishing social justice, and social justice appears to each man to be injustice if he is persuaded that he is superior to his neighbors.”
