A European lately arrived in China, if he is of a receptive and reflective disposition, finds himself confronted with a number of very puzzling questions, for many of which the problems of Western Europe will not have prepared him. Russian problems, it is true, have important affinities with those of China, but they have also important differences; moreover they are decidedly less complex. Chinese problems, even if they affected no one outside China, would be of vast importance, since the Chinese are estimated to constitute about a quarter of the human race. In fact, however, all the world will be vitally affected by the development of Chinese affairs, which may well prove a decisive factor, for good or evil, during the next two centuries. This makes it important, to Europe and America almost as much as to Asia, that there should be an intelligent understanding of the questions raised by China, even if, as yet, definite answers are difficult to give.

Foreword By Benjamin A. Javits. International Debate Of The Day! Bertrand Russell Versus Scott Nearing.

The Problems of Philosophy is a 1912 book by Bertrand Russell, in which the author attempts to create a brief and accessible guide to the problems of philosophy. Focusing on problems he believes will provoke positive and constructive discussion, Russell concentrates on knowledge rather than metaphysics: If it is uncertain that external objects exist, how can we then have knowledge of them but by probability. There is no reason to doubt the existence of external objects simply because of sense data.

Russell's attempt to create an easily accessible guide to the problems of philosophy.

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.

In dark days, men need a clear faith and a well-grounded hope; and as the outcome of these, the calm courage which takes no account of hardships by the way. The times through which we are passing have afforded to many of us a confirmation of our faith. We see that the things we had thought evil are really evil, and we know more definitely than we ever did before the directions in which men must move if a better world is to arise on the ruins of the one which is now hurling itself into destruction. We see that men's political dealings with one another are based on wholly wrong ideals, and can only be saved by quite different ideals from continuing to be a source of suffering, devastation, and sin.Political ideals must be based upon ideals for the individual life.

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.
