Bertrand Russell's writings on the topic are classics on the dealings of science and religion. This essay reminded me a bit of A Free Man's Worship: http://www.philosophicalsociety.com/Archives/A%20Free%20Mans... I read this collection of his essays on religion about a decade ago and would recommend it to folks interested in the topic: http://www.amazon.com/Russell-Religion-Selections-Writings/d...…
This is the essay that first got me into Russell. For a more positive summary of what Russell DOES believe, I love “A Free Man’s Worship” http://www.positiveatheism.org/hist/russell1.htm While it doesn’t quit hold me fully like it did when I was younger, I still find it beautiful: > United with his fellow-men by the strongest of all…
Well, it is a history of western philosophy. Also, I wouldn't say that Russell has a distaste for mysticism; my read of many of his writings on religion (A Free Man's Worship, Mysticism and Logic, etc.) would be that he genuinely sees the value of mysticism and transcendental experience – though I'm going on memory from reading about a decade ago. Durant's writing is great…
…than others, and it confused me quite a bit. Most of what she tries to describe in the initial part reminds me of the concept of "Moloch" (specifically in the sense described by Bertrand Russell's A Free Man's Worship, and Allen Ginsberg's poem): almost like a super-entity, resulting from the interactions of many individuals, but with a specific behavior of its own. I don't thinks that it's about "ideas", as Nadia…
…apply it at random to them in turn.) Incidentally, I'm not sure it's exactly right to say that Russell started out doing good technical work in philosophy and then turned later on to anti-theism. E.g., A Free Man's Worship (not exactly anti-theism, but in the same ballpark) is two years before On Denoting (the paper introducing his account of definite descriptions).
伯特兰·罗素关于该主题的文章是探讨科学与宗教关系的经典之作。这篇文章让我想起了《一个自由人的崇拜》（A Free Man's Worship）：http://www.philosophicalsociety.com/Archives/A%20Free%20Mans... 大约十年前我读过他的这本宗教论文集，并愿意向对这个话题感兴趣的人推荐：http://www.amazon.com/Russell-Religion-Selections-Writings/d...…

正是这篇文章让我最初迷上了罗素。若想更正面地了解罗素“真正”信仰什么，我非常喜欢《一个自由人的崇拜》（A Free Man’s Worship）http://www.positiveatheism.org/hist/russell1.htm 虽然它已经不像我年轻时那样能彻底打动我，但我依然觉得它写得很美：> 借由所有纽带中最坚强的一种与同胞们联结在一起……

嗯，毕竟它是一部西方哲学史。另外，我也不会说罗素反感神秘主义；我对他在宗教方面的诸多论著（《一个自由人的崇拜》、《神秘主义与逻辑》等等）的解读是，他确实看出了神秘主义和先验体验的价值——尽管我这只是凭大约十年前阅读的记忆在说。杜兰特的文字写得很棒……

……比其他人更多，这把我搞得挺困惑的。她在开头部分试图描述的大多数东西，都让我想起了“摩洛克”（Moloch）的概念（具体来说是伯特兰·罗素在《一个自由人的崇拜》（A Free Man's Worship）中以及艾伦·金斯堡诗作中所描述的那种含义）：几乎就像是一个超级实体，产生于众多人的互动，但有着其自身的特定行为。我不认为这关乎“理念”，正如 Nadia……

……顺次随机应用到它们身上。）顺便说一句，我不确定“罗素一开始在哲学领域做扎实的技术性工作，后来才转向反有神论”这种说法是否完全准确。比如，《一个自由人的崇拜》（A Free Man's Worship，算不上完全的反有神论，但属于同一范畴）比《论指称》（On Denoting，即引入他对限定摹状词理论阐述的那篇论文）还要早两年。
