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.

What pretty oracles nature yields us on this text in the face and behavior of children, babes and brutes. That divided and rebel mind, that distrust of sentiment because our arithmetic has computed the strength and means to oppose to our purpose, these have not. (Emerson 1870)

This term paper will attempt to compare specific biblical passages from the book of Ezekiel to specific passages in the book of Revelation. These passages are comparable due to their similar use of language, visions, and symbolism.

The book of Revelation, the final book of the bible, is one of the most interesting and symbolic readings for many. With an unknown author, apocalyptic foreshadowing, and obscure meanings, it has been interpreted a number of different ways. Starting with the history, the symbolism, and ways to interpret it, the aim of this paper is to give the reader a better understanding of the book.

Russell does not want people to be too comfortable with their lives or their belief systems. He believed that by constantly questioning your own beliefs and opinions, you grow and can develop a more critical way of thinking. After all, doubt is the challenger of certainty. People and people’s ideas need to be challenged. If what is said is just assumed to be certain and no one challenges our way of thinking, we would not grow and develop new ideas.

Bertrand Russell was a mathematician, philosopher, and a logician. He was known for his works in writing and takes on world problems. Russell was thought to have said, “ The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts.” Russell is referring to society as a whole. When he says, “fools and fanatics...so certain of themselves,” he is talking about the class clown or the people who do unwise things to get people to recognise and accept them. He says that they are certain of themselves because they see everyone being equal, and they think they do not have to be wise to be accepted.

Russell does this by refuting the words in an essay by Salman Rushdie’s essay and follows by questioning those statements or making his own counter-statements. An example appears on line 47 where Russell quotes Rushdie who said, “arguments must, of necessity, make a new imaginative relationship with the world….” Russell immediately follows the statement with his own historical examples of migrants who caused great harm to a new area’s culture and geography.

“And the air was full of Thoughts and Things to Say. But at times like these, only the Small Things are ever said. Big Things lurk unsaid inside.”

Entire chapters are written as responses to philosophers or other writers, like Robert Burton, who wrote a book called ‘ The Anatomy of Melancholy’ in 1621 or John Locke , a philosopher who shared with word the ideas about sensory knowledge and the human mind as a blank state . “Call down Dolly your chambermaid, and I will give you my cap and bell along with it, if I make not this matter so plain that Dolly herself shall understand it as well as Malbranch.—When Dolly has invited her epistle to Robin, and has thrust her arm in to the bottom of her pocket hanging by her right side;--take that opportunity to recollect that the organs and faculties of perception can, by nothing in this world by so aptly typified and explained as by that one thing which Dolly's hand is in search of.—Your organs are not so dull that I should inform you,--'is an inch, Sir, of red seal-wax.” He subtly makes fun of Locke’s ideas , at the same time gives a detailed description of Dolly, her boyfriend and her dress even though Dolly doesn’t even exist.
