| bertrand russell the conquest of happiness: What I believe Bertrand Russell, 2025-03-02 In What I Believe, Bertrand Russell presents a profound exploration of his philosophical convictions and personal beliefs, articulating a worldview shaped by reason, humanism, and skepticism. Written in a concise and engaging style, this work reflects Russell's commitment to clarity and rational discourse, emerging from the context of early 20th-century intellectual thought. It addresses essential themes such as morality, religion, and the quest for meaning, as Russell confronts the complexities of modern existence through his distinctive blend of analytic rigor and poetic expression. Bertrand Russell, a towering figure in philosophy, mathematics, and social activism, wrote this work in an era marked by rapid scientific advancements and existential crises. His inclusive approach to philosophy was influenced by his upbringing in a prominent intellectual family, as well as his extensive engagement with political and social issues. Russell's lifelong pursuit of knowledge and truth is palpable in this book, as he strives to demystify life's fundamental questions for both himself and his readers. I highly recommend What I Believe for anyone seeking a thoughtful and accessible introduction to Russell's philosophical ethos. This book not only enriches our understanding of the interplay between belief and skepticism but also serves as an invitation to reflect on our own convictions in a world fraught with uncertainty. |

| bertrand russell the conquest of happiness: Mindwise Nicholas Epley, 2014-02-11 You are a mind reader, born with an extraordinary ability to understand what others think, feel, believe, want, and know. It’s a sixth sense you use every day, in every personal and professional relationship you have. At its best, this ability allows you to achieve the most important goal in almost any life: connecting, deeply and intimately and honestly, to other human beings. At its worst, it is a source of misunderstanding and unnecessary conflict, leading to damaged relationships and broken dreams. How good are you at knowing the minds of others? How well can you guess what others think of you, know who really likes you, or tell when someone is lying? How well do you really understand the minds of those closest to you, from your spouse to your kids to your best friends? Do you really know what your coworkers, employees, competitors, or clients want? In this illuminating exploration of one of the great mysteries of the human mind, University of Chicago psychologist Nicholas Epley introduces us to what scientists have learned about our ability to understand the most complicated puzzle on the planet—other people—and the surprising mistakes we so routinely make. Why are we sometimes blind to the minds of others, treating them like objects or animals? Why do we sometimes talk to our cars, or the stars, as if there is a mind that can hear us? Why do we so routinely believe that others think, feel, and want what we do when, in fact, they do not? And why do we believe we understand our spouses, family, and friends so much better than we actually do? Mindwise will not turn other people into open books, but it will give you the wisdom to revolutionize how you think about them—and yourself. |
| bertrand russell the conquest of happiness: Marriage and Morals Bertrand Russell, 2025-01-21T00:00:00Z First published in 1929, now public domain in the US and Canada. ''Marriage and Morals'' won Bertrand Russell the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1950. With his customary wit and clarity, Russell explores the changing role of marriage, the codes of sexual ethics and the question of population. By what codes should we live our sexual lives? Every aspect, from the origin of marriage to the values of a healthy sex life, from the influence of religion, psychoanalysis and taboos to the possibilities of eugenics, receives the incisive scrutiny of Russell’s intellect. Here is the Passionate Sceptic at his most vigorous. |
| bertrand russell the conquest of happiness: Russell Gregory Landini, 2010-09-13 Bertrand Russell (1872–1970) was renowned as one of the founding figures of analytic philosophy, and for his lasting contributions to the study of logic, philosophy of language, philosophy of mathematics and epistemology. He was also famous for his popular works, where his humanism, ethics and antipathy towards religion came through in books such as The Problems of Philosophy, Why I am Not A Christian, and The Conquest of Happiness. Beginning with an overview of Russell’s life and work, Gregory Landini carefully explains Russell’s philosophy, to show why he ranks as one of the giants of British and Twentieth century philosophy. He discusses Russell’s major early works in philosophy of mathematics, including The Principles of Mathematics, wherein Russell illuminated and developed the ideas of Gottlob Frege; and the monumental three volume work written with Alfred North Whitehead, Principia Mathematica, where the authors attempted to show that all mathematical theory is part of logic, understood as a science of structure. Landini discusses the second edition of Principia Mathematica, to show Russell’s intellectual relationship with Wittgenstein and Ramsey. He discusses Russell’s epistemology and neutral monism before concluding with a discussion on Russell’s ethics, and the relationship between science and religion. Featuring a chronology and a glossary of terms, as well as suggestions for further reading at the end of each chapter, Russell is essential reading for anyone studying philosophy, and is an ideal guidebook for those coming to Russell for the first time. |
| bertrand russell the conquest of happiness: Bertrand Russell on Ethics, Sex, and Marriage Bertrand Russell, 1987 During his long life (1872-1970) Bertrand Russell was one of a handful of social thinkers, let alone internationally recognized philosophers, whose views on contemporary issues won for him a devoted and supportive audience on the one hand and a host of vituperative critics on the other. Russell's revolutionary writings frequently placed him in the center of controversy with conservatives and all those who were unwilling to consider moral questions from a rational rather than an emotional stance. Al Seckel has compiled an exhaustive collection of Russell's very best and most thought-provoking essays on ethics, social morality, happiness, sex, adultery, marriage, and divorce. Often hidden in obscure journals, pamphlets, out-of-print periodicals, and hard-to-find books, the works assembled here comprise a comprehensive volume that is augmented by valuable section introductions and editor's comments. This volume also includes Morality and Instinct, which is published here for the first time. |
| bertrand russell the conquest of happiness: Bertrand Russell on Nuclear War, Peace, and Language Alan Schwerin, 2002-12-30 One of the most prominent philosophers and activists of the 20th century, Bertrand Russell is known not only for his fundamental contributions on the scope of human knowledge and on mathematical logic, but also for his often-controversial views on ethical and linguistic topics. This edited collection of original essays by prominent Russell scholars focuses on the philosopher's positions on the key issues of nuclear war, peace, and language. The contributors critically assess Russell's arguments within their historical and philosophical context and show the significance and topicality that his ideas have retained to the present day, some 80 years since their first articulation. Among the issues examined are Russell's advocacy of preventive war against the Soviets, his activism for peace, his critical assessment of Wittgenstein's analysis of ordinary language, and his account of mathematical statements. |

Few other books provide such spellbinding inquiry and arrive at such a controversial and well-documented conclusion.

| bertrand russell the conquest of happiness: The Value of Philosophy Bertrand Russell, 2017-10-05 The Value of Philosophy is one of the most important chapters of Bertrand's Russell's magnum Opus, The Problems of Philosophy. As a whole, Russell focuses on problems he believes will provoke positive and constructive discussion, Russell concentrates on knowledge rather than metaphysics: If it is uncertain that external objects exist, how can we then have knowledge of them but by probability. There is no reason to doubt the existence of external objects simply because of sense data. |
| bertrand russell the conquest of happiness: Religion and Science Bertrand Russell, 1935 New truth is often uncomfortable, Bertrand Russell wrote, but it is the most important achievement of our species. In Religion and Science (1961), his popular polemic against religious dogma, he covers the ground from demonology to quantum physics, yet concedes that science cannot touch the profound feelings of personal religious experience. |
| bertrand russell the conquest of happiness: Knowing Nothing Jordan Cardinal, 2021-03-18 We all read so that we can know something. But not just to know something slightly or partially, but to know something entirely. A noble reason to read that is. Yet, despite such noble aims, no human mind can know anything. Not entirely nor partially, and that includes the very proposition of this book.By using argumentation theory, academic skepticism, and an old thought experiment know as the Münchhausen trilemma, I will demonstrate to my readers the arbitrariness rooted in all beliefs; that all our worldviews in both philosophy and science alike rely on unjustified presuppositions. A PhD cannot know something with anymore certainty than a toddler can know something. And I think that is a wonderful thing. |
| bertrand russell the conquest of happiness: Bertrand Russell's The Conquest of Happiness Infinite Ideas, 2011 Bertrand Russell's The Conquest of Happiness is a guide on living a happy life. Although it was of its time it was also ahead of its time. Russell believed that true happiness could only be achieved through thought and effort. A true self help classic before self help even existed. Our interpretation of The Conquest of Happiness illustrates the timeless nature of Russell's insights by bringing them to life through over 50 modern case studies. This brilliant interpretation of The Conquest of Happiness is an entertaining accompaniment to one of the most famous books on popular philosophy ever written. |

| bertrand russell the conquest of happiness: The Dreams to Reality Fieldbook Robert Chen, 2013-01-23 The Dreams to Reality Fieldbook Have you ever wondered why some people accomplish so much more than you do even though they have the same 24 hours? Are you tired of watching everyone else get what they want? Are you ashamed of being jealous of your friends, family or strangers who are living the life you wish you had? What if that could be you? What if you were able to make the income you have always wanted? How about taking a trip around the world without worry? What if you could live life without regrets? Would you be interested in that type of power? You can't change your past but you can have the future you want by changing the actions you take right now. In The Dreams to Reality Fieldbook, Robert Chen shows you how, step by step. This fieldbook was not written to make you feel good. You are not going to find rags-to-riches stories or tips about affirmations and positive thinking. This book was designed to take any dream that you have and turn it into a reality. That's it. Robert's focus when creating this fieldbook was to make it comprehensive, easy-to-understand and as short as possible. This book is not for someone who hopes it will work like magic with little to no effort. Each chapter ends with specific action steps that you should take before moving on. If you do not want to follow the steps, don't waste your time and money because this book will not help you if all you do is read it without stopping to take action. There are only two pre-requisites for this fieldbook: A dream A desire and willingness to commit to pursuing your dream It doesn't matter if you do not know how to achieve your dream, that is why Robert wrote this book. All that matters is that you want to achieve it. You will learn how to: Challenge beliefs and assumptions that hold you back from committing to your dreams Properly set goals that will allow you to turn your dreams into possibilities Create a practical plan that fits into your schedule to achieve your goals Execute your plan to turn possibilities into reality Overcome barriers that will arise when you execute your plan Celebrate and repeat the process again This book contains the information you need to turn your dreams into reality. All you have to do is to follow the steps. |
| bertrand russell the conquest of happiness: In Praise of Idleness and Other Essays Bertrand Russell, 1976 Intolerance and bigotry lie at the heart of all human suffering. So claims Bertrand Russell at the outset of In Praise of Idleness, a collection of essays in which he espouses the virtues of cool reflection and free enquiry; a voice of calm in a world of maddening unreason. With characteristic clarity and humour, Russell surveys the social and political consequences of his beliefs. From a devastating critique of the ancestry of fascism to a vehement defense of 'useless' knowledge, with consideration given to everything from insect pests to the human soul, In Praise of Idleness is a tour de force that only Bertrand Russell could perform. |
