Bertrand Arthur William Russell, 3rd Earl Russell, OM, FRS, was a Welsh philosopher, historian, logician, mathematician, advocate for social reform, pacifist, and prominent rationalist. Although he was usually regarded as English, as he spent the majority of his life in England, he was born in Wales, where he also died.

He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1950 "in recognition of his varied and significant writings in which he champions humanitarian ideals and freedom of thought."

Yes, you can read these books but they really become reference texts. You keep going back to them to build your understanding.

Δεν ξεκίνησα προκατειλημμένη και προσπάθησα να το διαβάσω. Έφθασα μέχρι την σελίδα 60 κάτι με αρκετή προσπάθεια. Έχω την εντύπωση ότι εκτός από την δυσκολία του θέματος, το βιβλίο επίσης δεν βοηθά. Ίσως γιατί θεωρεί δεδομένο πως ο αναγνώστης έχει γνώσεις από το θέμα. Αν και τα μαθηματικά του μέσες άκρες τα κατάλαβα, ο τρόπος που το γυρίζει από εδώ και από εκεί είναι περίπλοκος. Κατάφερα να φθάσω μέχρι εδώ διαλέγοντας το παράδοξο του Επιμενίδη που το γνώριζα και ακολουθώντας μέχρι εδώ τα σχόλια για αυτό και μόνο το παράδοξο γιατί αν δεν εστίαζα θα γινόταν χαμός. Αλλά λυπάμαι δεν θα συνεχίσω.
