John Quarterman's story about Mysticism and Logic
« Back to The Book That Changed My Life
Author: Bertrand Russell
SynopsisA collections of essays addressed by the philosopher to the general reader, five of which the author describes as 'entirely popular' and the others as 'somewhat more technical'. Mysticism and Logic is concerned with different ways of knowing, the ultimate nature of matter and the particular problems of philosophy. They reveal one of Russell's lifelong preoccupations: the disentanglement of what is subjective or intellectually cloudy from what is objective or capable of logical demonstration.
My Story
Many faiths and philosophies try to avoid the fact that we have evolved by chance and are due for destruction, but man has reason and by accepting the world as it is can transcend the evil. If we accept truth, beauty and the ideal of perfection and respect truth we can avoid the power of greed and evil and can enoble our little day.
Strict acceptance of truth however unpleasant enobles us and enables us to find peace and beauty.
