This book was released on 1994 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The guiding spirit of the philosophical engagement of Bertrand Russell was to outline a scientific philosophy with the intention of introducing progress and continuity in the subject. With this aim in view, he developed the analytic method which has inspired one of the most influential philosophical currents of this century. Russell's confidence was confirmed by the result of his analysis of perception and physics. This book examines three different theories that Russell used in an effort to provide a lasting solution to the problem of perception and its relation with the external world. Despite the merits of Russell's attempts, the author is convinced that Russell failed to achieve his aim, but that his failure points the way to a better understanding of the nature and purpose of philosophy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Russell's Theory of Perception, Sajahan Miah re-examines and evaluates the development of Russell's concept of perception and the relation of perception to our knowledge of the external world. With the introduction of logical construction (in which physical objects are constructed from actual and possible sense-data) Russell's theory of perception seems to become a causal theory with phenomenalist overtones. The book argues that there is a consistency of purpose and direction which motivated Russell to introduce logical construction. The purpose was to strike a compromise between his empiricism and his realism and to establish a bridge between the objects of perception and the objects of physics and common sense.

Download or read book Bertrand Russell and the Nature of Propositions written by Samuel Lebens and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-05-25 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bertrand Russell and the Nature of Propositions offers the first book-length defence of the Multiple Relation Theory of Judgement (MRTJ). Although the theory was much maligned by Wittgenstein and ultimately rejected by Russell himself, Lebens shows that it provides a rich and insightful way to understand the nature of propositional content. In Part I, Lebens charts the trajectory of Russell’s thought before he adopted the MRTJ. Part II reviews the historical story of the theory: What led Russell to deny the existence of propositions altogether? Why did the theory keep evolving throughout its short life? What role did G. F. Stout play in the evolution of the theory? What was Wittgenstein’s concern with the theory, and, if we can’t know what his concern was exactly, then what are the best contending hypotheses? And why did Russell give the theory up? In Part III, Lebens makes the case that Russell’s concerns with the theory weren’t worth its rejection. Moreover, he argues that the MRTJ does most of what we could want from an account of propositions at little philosophical cost. This book bridges the history of early analytic philosophy with work in contemporary philosophy of language. It advances a bold reading of the theory of descriptions and offers a new understanding of the role of Stout and the representation concern in the evolution of the MRTJ. It also makes a decisive contribution to philosophy of language by demonstrating the viability of a no-proposition theory of propositions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book has grown out of an attempt to harmonize two different tendencies, one in psychology, the other in physics, with both of which I find myself in sympathy, although at first sight they might seem inconsistent. On the one hand, many psychologists, especially those of the behaviourist school, tend to adopt what is essentially a materialistic position, as a matter of method if not of metaphysics. They make psychology increasingly dependent on physiology and external observation, and tend to think of matter as something much more solid and indubitable than mind." -Preface

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When future generations come to analyze and survey twentieth-century philosophy as a whole, Bertrand Russell’s logic and theory of knowledge is assured a place of prime importance. Yet until this book was first published in 1969 no comprehensive treatment of his epistemology had appeared. Commentators on twentieth-century philosophy at the time assumed that Russell’s important contributions to the theory of knowledge were made before 1921. This book challenges that assumption and draws attention to features of Russell’s later work which were overlooked. The analysis starts with Russell’s earliest views and moves from book to book and article to article through his enormous span of writing on the problems and theory of knowledge. The changes in ideas as he developed the theory are traced, and the study culminates in a statement of his latest views. His work is seen in a continuity in which the changes were part of the development of his mature thought, and the total evaluation and interpretation clarify many of the common misunderstandings of his philosophy. This is naturally of interest to all philosophers, and for students this is the answer to inevitable questions on the nature of Russell’s ideas and their evolution.

Download or read book Our Knowledge Of The External World written by Bertrand Russell and published by . This book was released on 2024-04-23 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Our Knowledge of the External World - As a Field for Scientific Method in Philosophy" by Bertrand Russell is a seminal work in the philosophy of science. Published in 1914, this book reflects Russell's attempts to apply the rigorous methods of science to the study of philosophical problems and to clarify the nature and limits of human knowledge. Bertrand Russell, a British philosopher, logician, and mathematician, was a leading figure in the development of analytic philosophy in the 20th century. In this book, he seeks to establish a scientific foundation for philosophy by examining the methods and assumptions of scientific inquiry and their implications for philosophical questions. One of the central themes of the book is the relationship between perception, cognition, and reality. Russell explores questions about the nature of knowledge, the reliability of sense perception, and the possibility of objective truth. He argues that scientific knowledge is based on empirical evidence and logical reasoning, and he advocates for a critical approach to philosophical inquiry that is grounded in the methods of science. Moreover, Russell discusses the role of language and mathematics in shaping our understanding of the external world. He examines the ways in which conceptual frameworks and symbolic systems influence our perceptions and interpretations of reality, and he emphasizes the importance of clarity and precision in philosophical analysis. Additionally, "Our Knowledge of the External World" addresses a range of philosophical topics, including the nature of space and time, causality, induction, and the problem of skepticism. Russell engages with classical philosophical debates and offers innovative solutions to longstanding problems, drawing on insights from logic, mathematics, and the natural sciences. Russell's writing is characterized by its clarity, rigor, and intellectual sophistication. He presents complex ideas with precision and elegance, making them accessible to readers without sacrificing depth or nuance. Overall, "Our Knowledge of the External World" is a landmark work that continues to influence debates in philosophy of science, epistemology, and metaphysics. Russell's emphasis on the importance of empirical evidence, logical analysis, and scientific method remains relevant for contemporary discussions about the nature and scope of human knowledge.
