Reading Bertrand Russell: The Promised End

http://readingrussell.blogspot.com/2015/05/the-promised-end.html

Monday, May 18, 2015. Eight years ago today I initiated this blog. As a sort of loose commitment to read, summarize, and lightly comment upon ten of Bertrand Russell's works. Today, Bertrand's 143rd birthday, the plan. Is complete. (OK, there was that one plan revision. Into the mighty cyber sea. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Inaugural Post (May 18, 2007). The Reading "Plan" (May 21, 2007). The Real Beginning (September 10, 2007). Bolshevism and the West. Education and the Good Life.

Literary Birthday - 18 May - Bertrand Russell - Writers Write Creative Blog

http://writers-write-creative-blog.posthaven.com/literary-birthday-18-may-bertrand-russell

Writers Write Creative Blog. Laquo; Back to blog. Literary Birthday - 18 May - Bertrand Russell. Was born 18 May 1872, and died 2 February 1970.

A stupid man’s report of what a clever man says can never be accurate, because he unconsciously translates what he hears into something he can understand. Patriots always talk of dying for their country...

Reading Bertrand Russell: Next Up: Human Society in Ethics and Politics

http://readingrussell.blogspot.com/2009/07/next-up-human-society-in-ethics-and.html

Sunday, July 19, 2009. Next Up: Human Society in Ethics and Politics. The original Reading Russell plan. Sanctified by tradition and popular apathy, called for an idiosyncratic summary/commentary (henceforth, “summentary”) of A History of Western Philosophy. To fill this space in our virtual noteworld. The call was made with trepidation, however, due to an inchoate suspicion that A History of Western Philosophy. Human Society in Ethics and Politics. I Sources of Ethical Beliefs and Feelings.

Wednesday, February 18, 2015. In Praise of Idleness, Chapter Eight. 8220;Western Civilisation,” pages 118-131. Civilisation is marked by forethought. [Russell later devotes more time to forethought. In Human Society in Ethics and Politics. 8211; RBR] until the next life helped to spur economic investment. But a working definition of civilisation is: “A manner of life due to the combination of knowledge and forethought [p. 119].”. Representative democracy on a large scale is a valuable legacy of the Middl...
