Portraits from Memory And Other Essays

Portraits from Memory And Other Essays

‘I have come to think that one of the main causes of trouble in the world is dogmatic and fanatical belief in some doctrine for which there is no adequate evidence. ’ – Bertrand Russell Portraits from Memory Portraits from Memory is one of Bertrand Russell’s most self-reflective and engaging books. Whilst not intended as an autobiography it is a vivid recollection of some of his celebrated contemporaries such as George Bernard Shaw Sidney and Beatrice Webb and D. H. Lawrence. Russell provides some arresting and sometimes amusing insights into writers with whom he corresponded. He was fascinated by Joseph Conrad with whom he formed a strong emotional bond writing that his Heart of Darkness was not just a story but an expression of Conrad’s ‘philosophy of life’. There are also some typically pithy Russellian observations; H. G. Wells ‘derived his importance from quantity rather than quality’ whilst after a brief and fraught friendship Russell thought D. H. Lawrence ‘had no real wish to make the world better but only to indulge in eloquent soliloquy about how bad it was’. This engaging book also includes some of Russell’s customary razor-sharp essays on a rich array of subjects from his ardent pacifism liberal politics and morality to the ethics of education the skills of good writing and how he came to philosophy as a young man. These include ‘A Plea for Clear Thinking’ ‘A Philosophy for Our Time’ and ‘How I Write’. Portraits from Memory is Russell at his best and will enthrall those new to Russell as well as those already well-acquainted with his work. This Routledge Classics edition includes a new foreword by the Russell scholar Nicholas Griffin editor of The Selected Letters of Bertrand Russell. | Portraits from Memory And Other Essays

The Causes of the English Revolution 1529-1642

The Causes of the English Revolution 1529-1642

Dividing the nation and causing massive political change the English Civil War remains one of the most decisive and dramatic conflicts of English history. Lawrence Stone's account of the factors leading up to the deposition of Charles I in 1642 is widely regarded as a classic in the field. Brilliantly synthesising the historical political and sociological interpretations of the seventeeth century Stone explores theories of revolution and traces the social and economic change that led to this period of instability. The picture that emerges is one where historical interpretation is enriched but not determined by grand theories in the social sciences and as Stone elegantly argues one where the upheavals of the seventeenth century are central to the very story of modernity. This Routledge Classics edition includes a new foreword by Clare Jackson Trinity Hall Cambridge. | The Causes of the English Revolution 1529-1642

It considers the philosophical and psychological context in which ideas about selfhood have developed and reviews the ways that the people around us and the groups that we belong to affect who we are.

Thinking to Some Purpose

Thinking to Some Purpose

I am convinced of the urgent need for a democratic people to think clearly without the distortions due to unconscious bias and unrecognized ignorance. Our failures in thinking are in part due to faults which we could to some extent overcome were we to see clearly how these faults arise. It is the aim of this book to make a small effort in this direction. Susan Stebbing from the Preface Despite huge advances in education knowledge and communication it can often seem we are neither well-trained nor well practised in the art of clear thinking. Our powers of reasoning and argument are less confident that they should be we frequently ignore evidence and we are all too often swayed by rhetoric rather than reason. But what can you do to think and argue better? First published in 1939 but unavailable for many years Susan Stebbing's Thinking to Some Purpose is a classic first-aid manual of how to think clearly and remains astonishingly fresh and insightful. Written against a background of the rise of dictatorships and the collapse of democracy in Europe it is packed with useful tips and insights. Stebbing offers shrewd advice on how to think critically and clearly how to spot illogical statements and slipshod thinking and how to rely on reason rather than emotion. At a time when we are again faced with serious threats to democracy and freedom of thought Stebbing’s advice remains as urgent and important as ever. This Routledge edition of Thinking to Some Purpose includes a new Foreword by Nigel Warburton and a helpful Introduction by Peter West who places Susan Stebbing’s classic book in historical and philosophical context.
