This video took me back to the time you recommended "Marriage and Morals" by Bertrand Russell to me. The first ever book & writer I read. It felt good to know more about him and his works. Great video. My most favourite part remains to be you quoting from the books, truly a treat to the ears and the mind. 🌷
This is such a great video essay; a vast yet lucid survey of Russell work with effortless charm! Russell was my first introduction to philosophy of logic and how to be rational in daily life. Though I've read 4 of his books, this video has made me think that there is more to Russell that is essential to explore. After watching this video, next I would be reading Fact and Faction or Marriage and Morals.
❤❤1985 I read his books Bertrand Russell Yes, language and logic. I figured out one day, while working. I am electrician and computer teach. I remember AND OR. And NOT. That is part of English language. XOR. If it is , it isn’t Great read. So, we use logic to process information .. 😅
Good One! Nice to know in a nut shell about so many books written by Russel. Definitely look forward to reading them. Having said that, from what was told in the video what Russel said about Gandhi, it sounded that he was actually appreciative of British Colonialists. Saying that British rule was less cruel than Nazis and hence Gandhis strategy worked is difficult to digest. I am drawing my conclusion from the fact that if 6M Jews perished in holocaust then close to 3M Indians died in Bengal Famine of 1943 only. Not sure if the British Intellecuals saved the day for the crown
Russell, along with Gandhi and G B Shaw, was out and out a pacifist, and he was unequivocally critical of any violence and bigotry of any sort. I see this comment of Russell as his being skeptical of non-violence as a tool of resistance, thereby drawing a parallel that it would have failed in the case of Nazis.
Post watching these recommendations, it's lucid where should I embark reading Russell. The citations✨ Lately, I've been indecisive about where to start these mind bending yet intellectually powerfull works of him. Sir this video was awaited since long!!
I really like your approach of giving some hints to the book content and show how it look like. It really really fuels curiosity to the books when you highlights some lines from the book. . Huge appreciation from my side and please keep continuing the approach. ❤
Brother I have enjoyed listening your tone of voice. And of course, I have felt that I learn something new about thoughts. That's why, I am subscribing your youtube channel.
Thank you for the recommendation bhai. There is theologian/youtuber Mr. Malcolm Guite who reads his favourite parts of English literature books. Please do the same and share if you get time. Thanks again
Thanks for this overview but I’ll pass on Mr Russel. While clearly thoughtful it doesn’t necessarily equate to his infallibility. Eg I find his refute of belief in a deity half baked and relies on a straw man of a “believer” as a mere panacea for the feeble mind as from a person who lived in a bubble of fantasies of his own thoughts. A prototypical neoliberal who never felt the consequences of when his ideas were just wrong wrong wrong and did not comport to reality while others that did would pay with their lives. His rationality for appeasement of Nazis for example. When his idea was wrong it simply didn’t matter to him because Nazis wouldn’t see him as anything other than a potential Nazi. Whether they got into power or not his own life would not suffer to the degree that adherents to his ideas (who didn’t look like him) would pay dearly. It’s this sort of neoliberalism that have rise to liberals of a certain country going around the world imposing their ideals on others that succeed or fail for the adherents while they themselves would benefit either way. Kurt Godel or JohnNash brilliant but a society designed by their ideals would be hellish. By my reading this guy put society on a trajectory of the negative aspects of Orwell/Huxley/Clinton/Obama/Blair/Zuckerberg/Gates/ChatGPT being coronated while Trump/Modi/Boris/Elon/Putin/ChatGPT/Rand all wait in the wings for the whole charade to come to an end where they can then take the Reigns….. in which case the former’s lives would not change one bit other than having to live with the discomfort of knowing they aren’t in charge. However Africa Dalits Proletariat or the working classes that believed naively accepted their position will find themselves howling as they watch their progeny wither before their eyes.
@@thereadingquest3320 obviously but his fatuousness is of the kind that endangers others while he receives awards from other immune from the downside of his foppery. No risk to him. Super dangerous…. It’s the Clintons swearing this time around their plans for Haiti Honduras etc will help the people based on their assessment of the quality of their own solutions. It’s Obama receiving the Nobel Peace Prize BEFORE even day one of his administration….as that committee ignores all history of USA presidents (not to mention mankind) and not even the integrity to claw back the award AFTER seeing his 8 year track record of bombing countries. When you put his ideas in practice you end up like him living in a fantasy that appeasement of Hitler is “smart” -- only to watch his Jewish friends howl in agony -- without the integrity to write a lengthy tome titled “The track record of my philosophy in practice (aka why you shouldn’t listen to me)”
TH-cam did a great job by suggesting me this channel. Commendable work Sir! 💜

By no stretch of imagination, the aim of this video was to prove that he was infallible. Even Plato and Buddha were not infallible.

Say/pronounce his name at least correctly !!
It is not RuSHel - but it is RuSSel [s] !
@@constantinebarton2929 Noted with due regards. How is the content though ?
bob dylan also won a nobel for literature ?
I like this best of BR - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_Praise_of_Idleness_and_Other_Essays
Bob Dylan won too. I too like Russell's In Praise of Idleness.
