Russell's history of philosophy is excellent. He was a good conscientious fellow yet wrong about faith. The people of the world are condemned with original sin, and that is inescapable except for the intervention of the Lord who saves through grace. Augustine thought man's nature is totally depraved. Paul's letter to the Romans following cannonically the Book of Acts in the New Testament is a work of genius, It is also a message from God in choosing an apostle to the gentiles and delivering him to Rome on time to witness for the Lord before beheading. It really is an amazing progression.
The phenomenality of life, as if it occurred in virtual reality, has foggy boundaries that will ever be unfathomable while being described scientifically. Godel's incompleteness theorems reinforce the uncertain nature of the quantum realm, fields and even gravity that theoretically should be a negative, antimatter charge drawing all mass toward itself. Russell and Whitehead's Principia Mathematica was the cutting edge in mathematical logic for ten years or more before being surpassed. Russell swimming for ten minutes in the cold, dark English channel after his plane was shot down in the war could have had a moment of insight and faith yet did not. The philosophy of logic is a wonderful field, yet one knows that Kripke-Quine neorealism and nominalism support the primacy of subjective epistemolgy consistent with being a human brain embedded in a quantum and contingent field with matter as an emergent charascteristic-a secondary characteristic occurring within a phenomenal Higgs Field. Perchance to dream...
