The Analysis of Mind

This early work on psychology is a fascinating read for any psychologist or historian of the science. Russell was a British philosopher and polymath who is considered as a father of analytical philosophy and mentored Ludwig Wittgenstein. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1950. In this seminal work, he presents a series of lectures which aim to reconcile the materialistic tendency of psychology with the anti-materialistic tendency of physics. Thoroughly recommended reading for professional psychologists, students and the layman alike.
