002 - Current Tendencies

In his thought-provoking Lowell Lectures of 1914, Bertrand Russell presents Our Knowledge of the External World, where he delves into the intricate relationship between our sensory experiences and core physical concepts like space, time, and matter. Through rigorous logical analysis, Russell aims to shed light on the complexities that defined late nineteenth-century philosophy, particularly in mathematics, and aspires to instigate a similar clarity in the broader realm of philosophy. Join him in the early stages of this enlightening journey into the philosophy of physics. Summary by Landon D. C. Elkind.
