Mysticism and Logic

by Bertrand Russell Narrated by Graham Dunlop

Overview

Mysticism and Logic. The first essay, which gives its title to the volume, endeavors to define the respective spheres of logic and mysticism. Bertrand Russell describes this and the four essays that follow as "entirely popular". They are concerned with "The Place of Science in a Liberal Education", "A Free Man's Worship", and "The Study of Mathematics". The next five essays are "somewhat more technical", though written with the lucidity and power which distinguish all Bertrand Russell's work in its appeal to layman and professional alike. "The Ultimate Constituents of Matter", "On Scientific Method in Philosophy", "The Relation of Sense-Data to Physics", and "On the Notion of Cause" are some of the subjects in this section.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

"Mr. Russell’s latest volume, though not containing any hitherto unedited matter, is one of the most important that he has published...the last six of the ten essays provide the best possible introduction to Mr. Russell’s philosophy." - T. S. Eliot

"The present volume is perhaps the most graceful and polished unbending ever achieved by a follower of abstruse studies." - New Statesman
