As a mathematical logician, Russell believes in intellectual honesty. This paper discusses his ideas on matter, soul, and metaphysical agnosticism.
2018 •
Almost five decades after his death, there is still ample reason to pay attention to the life and legacy of Bertrand Russell. This is true not only because of his role as one of the founders of analytic philosophy, but also because of his important place in twentieth-century history as an educator, public intellectual, critic of organized religion, humanist, and peace activist. The papers in this anthology explore Russell’s life and legacy from a wide variety of perspectives. This is altogether fitting, given the many-sided nature of Russell, his life, and his work. The first section of the book considers Russell the man, and draws lessons from Russell’s complicated personal life. The second examines Russell the philosopher, and the philosophical world within which his work was embedded. The third scrutinizes Russell the atheist and critic of organized religion, inquiring which parts of his critical stance are worth emulating today. The final section revisits Russell the political a...

Review of "Consciousness in the Physical World: Perspectives on Russellian Monism"2016 •
The central issue of Consciousness in the Physical World is Russellian monism, which claims that consciousness could be ontologically reduced to intrinsic properties of physical objects. In contemporary discussions, Russellian monism is more broadly defined than Russell’s original version of neutral monism, and it even becomes a family of views. In this review, based on two major distinctions between Russellian monism and Russell’s neutral monism, we point out that these current re-interpretations not only extend Russell’s theory; some may also put a heavy metaphysical burden on Russell’s construction of matter from experience.
Russell: the Journal of Bertrand Russell Studies
Mentalism vs. Physicalism? [review of Torin Alter and Yujin Nagasawa, eds., Consciousness in the Physical World: Perspectives on Russellian Monism]This is a review of this very influential “little” book by a man who was one of my early heroes but who fails to deliver convincing argumentation in this (therefore) disappointing book. Professional philosophers like to define philosophy as “thinking about thinking” [see “The Oxford Companion to Philosophy” p. 666 – referred to later as ‘Oxon’] but the practice of philosophy has been an extended attempt by western intellectuals to construct verbal models of the world we live in. Historically, philosophy has focused on three key areas: the nature of the world (metaphysics especially the theory of existence – ontology), the justification of belief (theory of knowledge – epistemology) and the conduct of human affairs (the theory of value – ethics).
Between logic and what Russell calls ‘mysticism’, a perceived unity of everything, there was still the opposite of a gap, a logical puzzle, in the case of the father of logic in Western philosophy, Parmenides. For various later Western philosophers, e.g. Thomas Aquinas, Descartes and Hegel, that gap was not there either. Thus there are two parties, the other party e.g. Hume, Kant, Russell. If only we could overcome this existing gap! Here a call is made to look along. Even though not everyone will succeed, it can still be logically seen that that absolutely unconditional unity behind everything must be the case, even though many people do not see this directly. Yet one is better off if one also sees both (which is, by the way, something different from just making oneself believe this).
