Reseña del libro "Icarus or the Future of Science"

Mr. Haldane's Daedalus has set forth an attractive picture of the future as it may become through the use of scientific discoveries to promote human happiness. Much as I should like to agree with his forecast, a long experience of statesmen and governments has made me somewhat sceptical. I am compelled to fear that science will be used to promote the power of dominant groups, rather than to make men happy. Icarus, having been taught to fly by his father Daedalus, was destroyed by his rashness. I fear that the same fate may overtake the populations whom modern men of science have taught to fly.

Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) es reconocido por su defensa del logicismo, del monismo neutral y por sus teorías sobre el atomismo lógico y los tipos lógicos. Fue uno de los fundadores de la filosofía analítica moderna, y su Principia Mathematica revitalizó el estudio de la lógica en el siglo xx. Russell fue galardonado con el Premio Nobel de Literatura en 1950.
