'My Opinions' — Bertrand Russell

"I have been accused of a habit of changing my opinions in philosophy. I am not myself in any degree ashamed of having changed my opinions ... I claim only, at best, that the opinion expressed was a sensible one to hold at the time when it was expressed."

'My Opinions' — preface to The Bertrand Russell Dictionary of Mind, Matter and Morals (1952)

"I have been accused of a habit of changing my opinions in philosophy and, in so far as this is true, the dictionary will enable readers to find it out. I am not myself in any degree ashamed of having changed my opinions. What physicist who was already active in 1900 would dream of boasting that his opinions had not changed during the last half century? In science men change their opinions when new knowledge becomes available; but philosophy in the minds of many is assimilated rather to theology than to science.

Where nobody knows anything, there is no point in changing your mind.

But the kind of philosophy that I value and have endeavoured to pursue is scientific in the sense that there is some definite knowledge to be obtained and that new discoveries can make the admission of former error inevitable to any candid mind. For what I have said, whether early or late, I do not claim the kind of truth which theologians claim for their creeds.

I claim only, at best, that the opinion expressed was a sensible one to hold at the time when it was expressed.

I should be much surprised if subsequent research did not show that it needed to be modified. I hope, therefore, that whoever uses this dictionary will not suppose the remarks which it quotes to be intended as pontifical pronouncements, but only as the best I could do at the time towards the promotion of clear and accurate thinking.

.. Clarity, above all, has been my aim."

— Bertrand Russell, Preface to The Bertrand Russell Dictionary of Mind, Matter and Morals (1952), p. 7

The Bertrand Russell to The Dictionary of Mind, Matter, and Morals(1952) contains more than 1000 selections from over 100 of Russell’s books and articles. It serves as an introduction to Russell’s style of analysis, argument, and exposition, the purpose of which is to develop a clear notion of Russell's method of approach to his fundamental principles and many of his leading ideas.

Very inspired story: A Year to Live.

Anthony Burgess was forty when he learned he had a brain tumor that would kill him within a year. He had no money at the time and nothing to bequeath to his soon-to-be widow, Lynne.

Burgess had never been a professional novelist in the past; but he was always aware that he had the talent to be a writer in him. So, just to be able to leave at least the copyrights to his wife, he put a piece of paper in the typewriter and began to write his first novel. It was not even certain that what he had written could be published; but he couldn’t think of anything else to do.

“It was January 1960,” he said, “and according to the diagnosis, I had a winter, a spring, and a summer ahead of me. That year, when the leaves began to fall, I would have died too.” With that speed and haste, Burgess had managed to write five and a half novels before the year was out. E. M. Forster could only write so many in almost an entire lifetime; J. D. Salinger, one of America’s greatest writers, managed to write only half of it in his entire life.

However, Burgess did not die. His cancer first regressed; then it disappeared altogether. In his long and full life as a writer, he produced more than seventy works, most famously A Clockwork Orange. He might not have written even one of these novels had it not been for the death sentence that cancer had inflicted on him.

Most of us are like Anthony Burgess; we hide a great talent waiting for an emergency to emerge from within us.

A useful exercise in self-motivation is to ask yourself what you would do if you were in Anthony Burgess’s place and found out that you would die of cancer within a year… “What would change in my life, how would I live my last year if I had learned that I would only live one more year? ? What exactly would I do? Considering the brevity of life is a useful exercise; it often brings up surprising thoughts in your mind that will reveal your unused talents that have not yet surfaced.

This book has been one of the best works in the world and deserves more than our time - it calls for a movement to take the message to all corners and hearts in the world. Education has to be the way it is planted in this work. Our tools and aims can be different, but the approach with which a school should 'make education happen' is written in the book. Moreover, it is the true account of a real achiever!
