enzyme reviewed The philosophy of logical atomism by Bertrand Russell (Open Court classics)
Review of 'The philosophy of logical atomism' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Far more concrete than Russell's earlier book, he takes the reader through basic logical argumentation with "philosophical grammar", then encourages his readers to take these powerful tools from carefully distinguishing between similar things elsewhere in their lives. His care in addressing these subjects is appreciated, although the elementarity of the subjects he touches may make some readers impatient, especially if they are keen on finding applications of these ideas readily. He touches upon a crucial idea in the final lecture--that of humans as sequences of experiences, or the results of experiencing a sequence of experiences. Such a framework has piqued my interest in writing an essay on the subject in the near future, because I think it is a critical idea for understanding the world that has been left out of predominant thought.
