Praise of idleness. Skeptical essays. Russell B.

This book includes Bertrand's copyright collections of Skeptical Essay and Glory of idleness, in which the great British philosopher in his characteristic witty, impeccably logical and accurate manner discusses the topics that concern him: about the differences between the Western and oriental ideas about the happiness, about the relativity of the truth and the triumph of illusions over common sense, about “useful” and “useless” knowledge, about the confrontation of idealism and rationalism and the need for reasonable skepticism in all areas of life - from love to politics.
