Russell is one of the most paradoxical philosophers who believed that the essence of philosophy is a logical analysis, and it combines science, religion and everyday consciousness. He is the founder of English neorealism, “logical atomism” as a form of neopositivism. B. Russell did not...
Guy de Maupassant is often called the master of erotic prose. But the novel “Bel Ami” (1885) goes beyond the scope of this genre. The history of the career of the ordinary seducer and playboy Georges Durois, developing in the spirit of an adventure novel, becomes a symbolic reflection of the spiritual impoverishment of the hero and society. Time passes, but readers are still interested in the image of a cynical adventurer and womanizer, a seducer of secular beauties who do not disdain anything to break out of poverty and obscurity in high society. Not possessing special talents, except the...

The book `The Problems of Philosophy` was written by B. Russell as a popular introduction to philosophy in 1910 and is still one of the best works of this kind (if not the best). The volume of the book is small, but, despite this, Russell was able to consider here the most basic issues of philosophy. `The Problems of Philosophy' can be used to teach philosophy at almost all levels of education - from secondary school to university and postgraduate study, as well as a textbook for special courses at philosophical faculties....
