BERTRAND RUSSELL TO GIVE LECTURE MONDAY

Bertrand Russell, prominent philosopher, will deliver a lecture open to the University, under the auspices of the Philosophical Club, in the New Lecture Hall Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock. The subject of the lecture will be "The Philosophy of Physics."

As a student at Cambridge University, England, Russell studied mathematics under Professor A. N. Whitehead, now of Harvard. Later he became an instructor at Cambridge and collaborated with Professor Whitehead in writing "Principia Mathematical", three volumes of which have been published. In spite of its title this work is a treatise of logic as well as mathematics, and advances the theory that mathematics and logic can be united in a single science

Upholds Scientific Method

Russell has published a number of books: best known of his works is "Scientific Method in Philosophy", first delivered as a series of Lowell lectures, in Boston, later published in book form in 1914.

The general view that Russell holds in philosophy is that scientific method is the only thing man can rely on for knowledge about the world and, consequently, that the most substantial ingredients of philosophy are those parts closely related with experience of physical nature. This includes the analysis of perception and the constitution of the physical world.
