#philosophy Bertrand Russell seems to have such a clear understanding of human rationality, society and sciences, he is a great guide to the curious mind in a quest to truth. He is an exceptional teacher, explaining anything complex to anyone, a la [[Feynman]] or [[Biology/Matt Ridley|Ridley]] but for [[Philosophy]], [[Logic]] and [[Mathematical philosophy]]. # History of western philosophy **some work in progress thoughts about his exceptional book**. - **Russell** mostly represents the [[Philosopher]]s in the book objectively, that is, largely devoid of his opinion, I believe it is an extremely rare and important skill. [[Philosophy/Epistemology/Knowledge]] is infallible, unlike opinion. - Not very neutral towards [[Nietzsche]] analysis though, in a way I see Russel as someone oriented [[Utilitarianism]], so it is understandable.
