Bertrand Russell and His Vain Foundations

Bertrand Russell is still considered today as one of the premier philosophers of the twentieth century on many different accounts. Many atheists, logicians, and ethicists still visit the thoughts and argumentations of this man in order to propagate a view of the world that is not even remotely similar to the Christian worldview.

In so doing, Russell deemed it best to demonstrate where true love, knowledge, and happiness are to be found and thus devoted his whole life to discovery and sharing of the basis of these realities. As we will see eventually, though, his foundation for such truths clouded these characteristics of being and action, and in fact made them devoid of true meaning and effectiveness.

Weekly, I will present portions of my college paper on Russell while not neglecting the posting of other important matters. Hopefully, this small study in philosophy, and in atheism in particular, will benefit our apologetic understanding of the Scriptures and the Christian faith, while being enriched in the glories of God as revealed through his Son and his atoning work for all who trust in Him. We will examine brief synopsises of his life, philosophy, and atheism before drawing from these things in order to enjoy redemption all that much more.
