Resumen del Editor

Bertrand Russell, despite his immense erudition, is an everyman and every-woman philosopher. He is clear, engaging, and readable. Although Russell did most of his early work (along with his mentor and colleague Alfred North Whitehead) in mathematics, he had an enormously wide range of interests - from politics to sex education for the young. The following two essays - "Mysticism and Logic" and "Mathematics and the Metaphysicians" - provide listeners with a glimpse into Russell's thinking and, in turn, illuminates us about these deep subjects. Even though Russell is a seasoned skeptic, he is not blind to how religious sentiments and emotions play a vital role in our day-to-day lives. This is perhaps best summarized by Russell when he writes "The metaphysical creed, I shall maintain, is a mistaken outcome of the emotion, although this emotion, as colouring and informing all other thoughts and feelings, is the inspirer of whatever is best in Man. Even the cautious and patient investigation of truth by science, which seems the very antithesis of the mystic's swift certainty, may be fostered and nourished by that very spirit of reverence in which mysticism lives and moves." Bertrand Russell remains a beacon of enlightenment for those wanting to better understand the universe through reason and logic and love.

Amazing content but badly read

For a topic as complex as this, the reading was very fast. It was a flat reading just like a computer. Perhaps computers would have given a good pause between sentences.
A topic of philosophy is absorbed, pondered and reflected upon. Pauses are an important ingredient for a full effect. very disappointed.

great content, terrible narrator

Sadly this was unlistenable. it sounded like it was narrated by a cheap text to speech program.

Love how it says optional but it is required....

Bertrand Russell is my favorite original mathematician. My modern day favorite being Hannah Fry - of whom I highly recommend. I enjoyed listening to this audible. I will probably listen to more of Russell's work. I see why he is considered more of a philosopher but I still love his approach to mathematics and logic.
