By Bertrand Russell
Con lucidez y claridad, el filósofo Bertrand Russell, Premio Nobel de Literatura de 1950 y una de las grandes mentes del siglo XX, expone su specific visión del mundo, desde los angeles condición humana hasta los angeles física.
Fundamentos de filosofía (1927) period una obra pensada para el gran público estadounidense que, sin embargo, despertó una aguerrida controversia en los círculos académicos. Su tesis clave afirma que los angeles humanidad es el instrumento mediante el cual adquirimos nuestro conocimiento del universo (o, según Gorgias, «el hombre es los angeles medida de todas las cosas»). De ahí, surgen varias cuestiones: ¿de qué maneras adquiere conocimiento el ser humano?, ¿es posible los angeles formulación de leyes universales?, ¿cómo podemos distinguir verdad y opinión? Todas las preguntas que plantea Russell abren las puertas al que es, al fin y al cabo, el más sugestivo de los interrogantes: ¿puede el ser humano llegar a conocerlo todo?
Reseñas:
«La claridad, seguridad e imparcialidad que [Russell] ha aplicado a los problemas lógicos, filosóficos y humanos no tienen rival.»
Albert Einstein
«Entre los pocos en quienes los angeles inspiration se ha manifestado en los angeles propia carne y a quienes los angeles situación histórica de los angeles humanidad ha transformado de maestros en profetas está Bertrand Russell.»

On any given evening cable television information will let us know how polarized American politics is: Republicans are from Mars, Democrats are from Canada. yet in reality, writes Peter Wenz in past purple and Blue, american citizens don't divide smartly into ideological camps of red/blue, Republican/Democrat, right/left. In actual existence, as Wenz indicates, various ideologies can converge on definite matters; humans from the precise and left can help an analogous coverage for various purposes. therefore, for instance, libertarian-leaning Republicans can oppose the Patriot Act’s encroachment on own freedom and social conservatives can help homosexual marriage in view that it strengthens the establishment of marriage.
Wenz maps out twelve political philosophies—ranging from theocracy and free-market conservatism to feminism and cosmopolitanism—on which americans draw whilst taking political positions. He then turns his concentration to a couple of America’s so much arguable concerns and indicates how ideologically diversified coalitions can emerge on such hot-button subject matters as extending existence through synthetic potential, the battle on medicinal drugs, the battle on terrorism, affirmative motion, abortion, same-sex marriage, health and wellbeing care, immigration, and globalization.
Awareness of those twelve political philosophies, Wenz argues, may help activists enlist allies, voters greater comprehend politics and elections, and we all outline our personal political identities.
