""This book has grown out of an attempt to harmonize two different tendencies, one in psychology [the materialistic tendency], the other in physics ... [the anti-materialistic tendency of physics] ... according to which the 'stuff ' of the world is netiher mental nor material, but a 'neutral stuff, ' out of which both are constructed."--Preface, p. 9."@en
"Philosopher, logician, mathematician, social reformer and historian, the renowned Nobel Prize winner Bertrand Russell has been an intellectual force of the twentieth-century, his influence on contemporary thought far reaching. Russell writes in the preface of his philosophical and psychological accomplishment The Analysis of Mind : This book has grown out of an attempt to harmonize two different tendencies, one in psychology, the other in physics ..."@en
"One of Russell's most important and interesting books which reconciles the materialistic tendency of psychology with the anti-materialistic tendency of physics."@en
"Bertrand Russell was a British philosopher, logician, mathematician, historian, social reformist, and pacifist. Russell led the British "revolt against Idealism" in the early 1900s and is considered one of the founders of analytic philosophy along with his protege Wittgenstein and his German elder Frege.

"This book has grown out of an attempt to harmonize two different tendencies, one in psychology, the other in physics, with both of which I find myself in sympathy, although at first sight they might seem inconsistent. On the one hand, many psychologists, especially those of the behaviourist school, tend to adopt what is essentially a materialistic position, as a matter of method if not of metaphysics.

They make psychology increasingly dependent on physiology and external observation, and tend to think of matter as something much more solid and indubitable than mind. Meanwhile the physicists, especially Einstein and other exponents of the theory of relativity, have been making "matter" less and less material. Their world consists of "events," from which "matter" is derived by a logical construction. I think that what has permanent value in the outlook of the behaviourists is the feeling that physics is the most fundamental science at present in existence. But this position cannot be called materialistic, if, as seems to be the case, physics does not assume the existence of matter."--"@en
