I found this theme interesting and Russels book with the philosophical angle was a great start of this course. My previous knowledge about philosophy is a bit limited but I think its good to have another this other angle since many of the courses at KTH is more about “absolute true”, like for example math.
Some topics where a bit harder to understand and I had to read some parts a few times to make sure I did not miss any of Russels points. It would have been interesting with a seminar and a lecture about this topic. Even though the answers on the blogs to the questions given last week where similar there were still some different interpretations but also different focus on what was important.
Russels book is over one hundred years the questions still feel relevant today when we for example put it in relation to the scientific progress that have been going on under the same period. How we try to understand the world around us through the processes in our own mind is something that is still the same, even if the world have changed.
