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.»
Erich Fromm

Other approaches as well as attitude surveys must be 20 On Methods and Morals part of a complete research programme. The point may be taken by considering a study like that of Richard Titmuss's The Gift Relationship (1970) from which fundamental and dramatic conclusions are drawn about the values of freedom, altruism, and efficiency from an analysis, not of expressed opinion, but of the organised institutions of different countries. Or consider R. H. Tawney's works The Acquisitive Society (1921) and Equality (1945) which use history and social statistics to mount a searching critique of the capitalist social order.
The innocent reader receives no hint that Catholics, let alone Christians, outnumber all the other five churches put together by at least two to one, or that the majority do not actively belong to any church at all. The representative sample survey is reasonably proof against such misdescription. Disciplined numbers aid accurate ethnography. On the other hand, the Bowker study at least notices the existence of religions in Britain other than Christianity. The EVSSG sample is so small that the Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus and Sikhs have cell sizes too minute to be usable.
A. H. Halsey 17 The chapters on work, politics, and religion all provide good examples of this type of correlational analysis. Another, not included here but published elsewhere by Professor Richard Rose (1984, p. 379), is the description of patriotism. As we have noted, pride of nation is conspicuous among Britons. As many as 86 per cent are very proud or quite proud to be British, only 8 per cent declare themselves not very proud, and only 3 per cent 'don't know'. , and so establishes the overwhelming normality or consensus of patriotic sentiment.
