Analysis of thought, by Bertrand Russell

Bertrand Russell in this book attempts to reconcile two different trends in contemporary philosophy: psychology and physics. Psychologists, who belong to the behaviorist school, adopt a stance that can be described as materialistic, through the methods they follow, and in this stance, they link psychology to physiology, while physicists, especially Einstein, who advocate for relativity, try to make matter less material. Bertrand Russell analyzes the ideas of this school and others, and follows the views of William James and the American realists, who see that the essence of the world is neither material nor mental, but is a neutral entity, and from this neutral entity, the two worlds — material and mental — are formed.
