When I was a physics student, Bertrand Russell's ideas were a guiding light for me, and they also helped me improve my English skills. Yesterday, I tried reading a book I had once given to my father, and I was astonished by how much I could understand compared to German philosophical texts. I lived in Germany for nearly nine years and in Italy for about a year. What a huge difference when your native language is also a Romance language. #Russell #Language #Italian #German #Philosophy
