The first essay, which gives its title to the volume, endeavours 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.

An admirable statement of the aims of the Library of Philosophy was provided by the first editor, the late Professor J. H. Muirhead, in his description of the original programme printed in Erdmann's History of Philosophy under the date 1890. This was slightly modified in subsequent volumes to take the form of the following statement: "The Muirhead Library of Philosophy was designed as a contribution to the History of Modern Philosophy under the heads: first of Different Schools of Thought-Sensationalist, Realist, Idealist, Intuitivist; secondly of different Subjects-Psychology, Ethics, Aesthetics, Political Philosophy, Theology. While much had been done in England in tracing the course of evolution in nature, history, economics, morals and religion, little had been done in tracing the development of thought on these subjects. Yet 'the evolution of opinion is part of the whole evolution'. "By the co-operation of different writers in carrying out this plan it was hoped that a thoroughness and completeness of treatment, otherwise unattainable, might be secured. It was believed also that from writers mainly British and American fuller consideration of English Philosophy than it had hitherto received might be looked for. In the earlier series of books containing, among others, Bosanquet's "History of Aesthetic," Pfleiderer's "Rational Theology since Kant," Albee's "History of English Utilitarianism," Bonar's "Philosophy and Political Economy," Brett's "History of Psychology," Ritchie's "Natural Rights," these objects were to a large extent effected. "In the meantime original work of a high order was being produced both in England and America by such writers as Bradley, Stout, Bertrand Russell, Baldwin, Urban, Montague, and others, and a new interest in foreign works, German, French and Italian, which had either become classical or were attracting public attention, had developed. The scope of the Library thus became extended into something more international, and it is entering on the fifth decade of its existence in the hope that it may contribute to that mutual understanding between countries which is so pressing a need of the present time." The need which Professor Muirhead stressed is no less pressing to-day, and few will deny that philosophy has much to do with enabling us to meet it, although no one, least of all Muirhead himself, would regard that as the sole, or even the main, object of philosophy. As Professor Muirhead continues to lend the distinction of his name to the Library of Philosophy it seemed not inappropriate to allow him to recall us to these aims in his own words. The emphasis on the history of thought also seemed to me very timely; and the number of important works promised for the Library in the very near future augur well for the continued fulfilment, in this and other ways, of the expectations of the original editor.

He also discusses the role of key figures in the party, including Karl Kautsky and Rosa Luxemburg, and their contributions to socialist theory and practice.Throughout the lectures, Russell emphasizes the importance of democratic principles and the need for socialists to work towards a more just and equitable society. He also highlights the challenges faced by social democracy in the face of political repression and the rise of fascism in Germany and other European countries.Overall, ""German Social Democracy: Six Lectures"" offers a fascinating insight into the history and ideology of one of the most important socialist movements of the 20th century, and provides valuable lessons for anyone interested in the struggle for social justice and political change.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Another of Russell's more well-known writings, Analysis of the Mind is an insightful and deep read well worth the time invested into it.

A classic collection of Bertrand Russell's more controversial works, reaffirming his staunch liberal values, Unpopular Essays is one of Russell's most characteristic and self-revealing books. Written to combat... the growth in Dogmatism, on first publication in 1950 it met with critical acclaim and a wide readership and has since become one of his most accessible and popular books.

El ser humano busca respuestas y ante esa necesidad, nació primero la Religión y luego la Ciencia. Inevitablemente, llegó un momento donde sus versiones discreparon.Desde hace más de cuatrocientos años, las explicaciones sobre el mundo que parten de sistemas religiosos han sido relegadas por las teorías científicas modernas. Primero, los intelectuales religiosos lucharon por mantener una explicación astronómica y física acordes con los dogmas cristianos. Pero, ante las poderosas teorías presentadas por Copérnico, Kepler, Galileo, Descartes y Newton, este ámbito pronto fue abandonado.Igualmente, fueron negados los avances de la geología moderna, inicialmente desarrollada por Hutton, Playfair y Lyell. La idea clave de estas teorías para explicar los problemas geológicos, fue que la Tierra cambiaba y se formaba mediante variaciones paulatinas. Estas y otras teorías que ubicaban el inicio de la Tierra más atrás de 4.000 años antes de Cristo, fueron rotundamente rechazadas por los religiosos. No mucho después, este bastión tuvo también que renunciarse ante sus evidentes debilidades explicativas. Finalmente, los defensores de la religión intentaron evitar la teoría de Darwin sobre la evolución biológica, pues esta tesis, evidentemente, no es acorde con las leyendas religiosas sobre la creación humana y, asimismo, porque implicaba una situación extremadamente problemática para la creencia en el alma y en el libre albedrío. Como se sabe, aquí tampoco las cosas fueron bien para las teorías que eran afines con la religión. Bertrand Russell mantuvo durante su larga vida, una actitud firme ante todos los problemas que abordaba como crítico, libre pensador y, en suma, desde un posicionamiento racionalista. Todo su esfuerzo intelectual consistió en negar las apelaciones a la confianza, la intuición y la autoridad, como formas de fundamentar las ideas y las teorías sobre cualquier tema. Todo debe pasar el juicio de la razón crítica, fuera de ella se encuentra el dogmatismo y su consecuente estancamiento intelectual.Además de ser uno de los filósofos modernos más influyentes (Premio Novel incluido), Russell era un ferviente pacifista y ateo. Como demuestra en el presente libro, desarrollando sus argumentos de forma amena y directa revisando la disputa epistemológica entre Ciencia y Religión.
