Written at the time of major new developments in physics and just when quantum mechanics was being developed Russell offers an analysis of the concepts and problems that are central to a philosophical understanding of physics and argues for a revised concept of matter.

We have more books available by this author!. 256 pp. "'These propositions may seem mild yet if accepted they would absolutely revolutionize human life.' With these words Bertrand Russell introduces what is indeed a revolutionary book. Taking as his starting-point the irrationality of the world he offers by contrast something 'wildly paradoxical and subversive' - a belief that reason should determine human actions. Today besieged as we are by the numbing onslaught of twenty-first-century capitalism Russell's defence of scepticism and independence of mind is as timely as ever. In clear engaging prose he guides us through the key philosophical issues that affect our daily lives - freedom happiness emotions ethics and beliefs - and offers no-nonsense advice. W.W.
