Synopsis
According to Bertrand Russell, science is knowledge; that which seeks general laws connecting a number of particular facts. It is, he argues, far superior to art, where much of the knowledge is intangible and assumed. In The Scientific Outlook, Russell delivers one of his most important works, exploring the nature and scope of scientific knowledge, the increased power over nature that science affords and the changes in the lives of human beings that result from new forms of science. Insightful and accessible, this impressive work sees Russell at his very best.

About the Author
Bertrand Russell (1872–1970) was one of the most formidable thinkers of the modern era. A philosopher, mathematician, educational innovator, champion of intellectual, social and sexual freedom, and a campaigner for peace and human rights, he was also a prolific writer of popular and influential books, essays and lectures on an extensive range of subjects.
Considered to be one of the most controversial figures of the twentieth century, Bertrand Russell is widely renowned for his provocative writings. These definitive works offer profound insights and forward-thinking perspectives on a changing western society progressively shaped, most significantly, by two world wars, the decline of British imperialism and an evolving moral landscape.

Trade Paperback. Condition: Fine. Second Edition (Routledge). 211 Pages Indexed. Pristine brand new condition. Interior text pages are flawless. Originally published in London in 1931. According to Bertrand Russell, science is knowledge; that which seeks general laws connecting a number of particular facts. It is, he argues, far superior to art, where much of the knowledge is intangible and assumed. In The Scientific Outlook, Russell delivers one of his most important works, exploring the nature and scope of scientific knowledge, the increased power over nature that science affords and the changes in the lives of human beings that result from new forms of science. Insightful and accessible, this impressive work sees Russell at his very best. Includes Prefatory Note to the Second Edition by Papineau in which he says that he has corrected topical allusions which have become out of date. The material of the last few chapters may seem now more familiar than at the time of the first edition, since it has been popularized in two widely read books, Huxley's Brave New World and Burnham's Managerial Revolution. Contents in 17 Chapters: Examples of Scientific Method, Characteristics of Scientific Method, Limitations of Scientific Method, Scientific Metaphysics, Science and Religion, Beginnings of Scientific Technique, Technique in Inanimate Nature, Technique in Biology, Technique in Physiology, Technique in Psychology, Technique in Society, Artificially Created Societies, The Individual and the Whole, Scientific Government, Education in a Scientific Society, Scientific Reproduction, and Science and Values. Plus Introduction and Notes. Seller Inventory # 17110
