The column | famous saying life - very russell

Anyone who studies philosophy must talk about dialectics, and Mr. Russell is a famous philosopher in the twentieth century, and he is naturally sloppy in dialectics. So he said, "I will never give my life for my faith, because my faith may be wrong." ”

However, according to the Great Internet, Mr. Russell never uttered the phrase in its entirety, and he merely expressed a similar meaning in an interview. According to the New York Post on June 23, 1964, Russell said when asked if you would like to die for your faith: "Of course not. After all, I could be wrong. ”

Forget it, let's forget the greatness of the Internet for a while, and still maintain the integrity of Mr. Russell's famous words - I will never fully believe in the Internet, because the Internet is sometimes ridiculous.

People naturally have faith, and Russell should be no exception, he has a book called "My Faith". But it is clear that Mr. Russell does not want to die for faith, perhaps because of faith there is oneness, there is absolute, there is dialectics, there is reason. And reason is the basis of all truth, and no one should ignore it, let alone a philosopher like Russell.

The great man is great because he is so great that he does not even believe blindly. Looking back, only a madman or a fool would shout in the mirror all day long, "I'm the best, I'll always be No.1" – it's said that this is the daily routine of those in MLM organizations.

But not blindly believing does not mean not insisting on the self, russell did not have a saying: "Three simple and extremely strong passions dominate my life; that is, the desire for love, the pursuit of knowledge, and the irrepressible sympathy for human suffering." Of course, in the pursuit of knowledge, Russell certainly did not say that the Commercial Press's "Russell Anthology" has 15 works, which should not be the whole of his works. Sympathizing with human suffering, that's fine, Russell was expelled from Cambridge university for anti-war. Speaking of the attachment to love, Russell is simply beyond repetition, and it is estimated that no one in the philosopher of love history can be right over Russell, and people laugh at him for "chasing every woman in a skirt".

The above Russell quotes seem to be very useful to ordinary people as well. A friend of mine said that the men she hates the most, without exception, have two things in their personalities, self-righteousness and pretentiousness. Listening to her words, I sweated on my head and reviewed myself, fortunately, neither of these things was serious. These two things he said are indeed common among men (why not among women?). It boils down to nothing more than narcissism and paranoia. To say what is wrong with such a way of doing things, it is simply "very russell", that is, we can only look at each other with ourselves, we cannot look at ourselves with others, and we cannot look at each other with the eyes of God. At any time, it is necessary to think of "very russell" as a warning to human beings.
