Bertrand Russell Outline

Much has been said about love, but if you search the horizon, you will discover that most of the things written about love are either pithy or cynical.

Love commands a vast army of moods. Love can be dangerous and harsh but love can be joyful and happy. Love is like a war you have a battle between good and bad u can either fight till u get what u want or u don’t fight and loose what u got and now had. You can’t fake love or there won’t be no faith nor loyal u can depend on one person and put all the pressure on then u need to fight as well.

Love comes in numerous ways and can be expressed in countless fashions. Love is powerful, has a meaning, and is capable of eclipsing time all due to the human psyche. One can love anything from a family member, to a fictional character in a TV show, or even an inanimate object. The fluidity of love is what makes it so difficult to understand if one is “in love” or has ever experienced love. Experiences often mold a person’s perspective on what love truly is. Love is not an emotion, but rather a condition of the mind that cause one to act in ways that are uncharacteristic. It can be blinding, obsessive, and pure, depending on the reciprocation of the love. Since love is an abstract concept, one simply cannot measure how much love they have received or given alike. Although the human brain can perceive and interpret other’s actions or words as signs of love and care, in which the mind processes this into the mental psyche that is love.

“That citizen sinks further into apathy, anonymity, and depersonalization. The result is that he comes to depend on public authority and a state of civic-sclerosis sets in” (Alinsky, 1971). This statement perfectly describes what is happening to the people today. People are no longer concerned with what is happening around them. The world today is living in an individualization phase where there are more people who know more stuff about the celebrities, latest fashion and gadgets, rich lifestyle, etc. rather than the continuous welfare problems. Because the world has reached the technology era, people are blind and deaf to the oppression that is happening. In this world full of complex networks of problems, where should the people start?

Bertrand Russell was a British philosopher, mathematician, and political activist. He studied philosophy and mathematics in college and was hired to give lectures at Trinity College. When World War I began, so did his political activism. In 1918, he wrote an article criticising the England’s part in the War and promoting peace. As a result, he was sent jail and removed from his position at Trinity. After he was released from jail, he began to travel the world giving lectures, and was eventually accepted back to Trinity. In 1950, he won the Nobel Prize in Literature and continued to give lectures on math and philosophy until his death in 1970. Throughout his life, he argued that war only causes more problems and that peace is the best solution.

Question 1: Bertrand Russell’s conception of a denoting phrase changes in the transition from Principles of Mathematics (1903) to “On Denoting” (1905)  in a very distinct manner. In Principles of Mathematics, denoting phrases are phrases that have an autonomous meaning. This meaning is the denoting concept and the denotation of the denoting phrase is the “combination of terms”. In “On Denoting” a denoting phrase is no longer a phrase that denotes but rather a phrase that has syntactical form of a determiner and a common noun. The 1903 view holds that denoting in isolation is possible because denoting phrases and predicates both have autonomous meanings. In “On Denoting”, Russell rejects the idea of a denoting concept and the postulated

Upon reading Erich Fromm’s The Art of Loving, I gained a better understanding of what love really is. Fromm’s book puts love into perspective. He begins with several facts with regards to the attitude in which people treat love. They are the problems of how to be loved, the object to love as well as the confusion between the initial experience of falling in love and the permanent state of being in love, which had a great impact on me, as far as thinking about what love is.

Paper #1 Love is a deep feeling that makes people has strong emotions to each other. When love exists in a relationship, the relationship will be stronger and would confront biggest problems. People would feel lost without love because it is the cure for loneliness and sadness. For example, if two people love each other and one of them is poor, the other person would not care about the money more than the relationship because they have strong feelings into each other. Therefore, every relationship must be based on love because it is a priceless cure.

Bertrand Russell backs up his theories by explaining the two different objects of philosophy. He states, “On the one hand, it aimed at a theoretical understanding of the structure of the world; on the other hand, it tried to discover and inculcate the best possible way

Society as a whole is collapsing. For generations people have been led to believe that strengthening themselves, no matter the consequences, can better society. “The Second Coming” by William Butler Yeats portrays how the destruction of society is caused by human actions.

When one looks at romantic love, one would conclude that it is a social dyad that brings about certain responsibilities between two people in a relationship such as honesty, protection, openness and expressions of love. (William, 2008: 76). Contrasting with

Love, whilst recognised as a universal experience has been found to be extremely difficult to define. This essay compares and evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of two of the most prominent love theories. The first is Freud’s theory of love as aim-inhibited libido. Aim-inhibited libido can be defined as libido where the sexual instincts have been diverted or disguised due to the means for their fulfilment being forbidden. Roger’s theory of unconditional positive regard is founded on the idea that a healthy love relationship must consist of two self-actualising people. It was found that Freud’s theory was too scientific, while Rogers’ not enough.

Friends, family, co-workers, have heard these words “True love is hard to find” and even a poem by A.C. Bradley echo the words: “True “Tis; better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.” Friends will say these words and phrases to their dear friend whom is heart- broken to offer comfort and to express the empathy of what love’s bittersweet intangible imprint has caused. Regrettably, only a fortuitous miniscule number of the world population may boast the discovery of an all-encompassing type of love, upon initial encounter. Because some individuals allow the trials and tribulations of everyday life to distract them from Love’s potential, a staggering minute amount of marriages has endured through the decades.

A lack of love can cause horrible things. For example Hitler. He only cared about hate and revenge to the Jewish. Obviously he didn’t love others. He didn’t like the idea of respecting others. This horrible war could be stopped by showing him, love. When we are contagious by love, we don’t want to harm the others. We want to help them, and they become our friends.
